Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, antisocial behaviour and pollution

What decided it

The material adverse effect on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties through noise and disturbance from holiday lodge activities, which could not be adequately mitigated or enforced, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate tourism and economic benefits.

The adverse effects of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents, to which significant weight was attributed, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits arising from tourism, leisure, economic growth and agricultural diversification, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy ASP6(2) of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026
National Planning Policy Framework
