Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A - the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, in particular relation to noise and disturbance
- Appeal B - the effect that varying the conditions would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, in particular relation to noise and disturbance
What decided it
For Appeal A, the noise impact assessment demonstrating noise levels below baseline or modest increases of 3dB, combined with the noise management plan measures and the lively district centre context with comparable existing uses, meant the development would not cause unacceptable harm to living conditions. For Appeal B, the Council's proposed amended condition wording was either unlawful or failed to meet the clarity and precision requirements of the Framework, and no acceptable alternative wording was provided.
