Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties of The Herons and Linksway, in relation to noise, disturbance and outlook
  • whether the site location plan adequately identifies all land necessary to carry out the proposed development

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise, disturbance and loss of outlook from intensified use of the narrow access track, conflicting with development plan policies that seek to avoid significant harm to residential amenity.
