Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents in residential and neighbourhood areas with respect to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal is compatible with the Northern Gateway Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF)

What decided it

The absence of a noise assessment to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely affect the living conditions of existing and future residents through noise and disturbance, combined with the precautionary approach appropriate given prior noise complaints and the proximity to planned residential development.
