Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with regard to noise

What decided it

The development has the potential to materially increase noise levels to a detrimental level for neighbouring residential occupiers, particularly from tipping of materials, and there is no enforceable mechanism to control and restrict future changes to business operations that could worsen this impact.
