Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the agricultural buildings make it otherwise impractical or undesirable for them to be used as a dwellinghouse in terms of its effect on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to odour and noise
What decided it
The noise and odour assessments, supported by the Council's environmental health team and incorporating worst-case scenario mitigation, demonstrated that the proposed dwelling would achieve acceptable living conditions despite proximity to agricultural operations, and the substantial separation distance from arable land meant residual impacts would not be sufficiently harmful to make the location impractical or undesirable for residential use.
