Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions are necessary and reasonable having regard to the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions and health and wellbeing of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The robust acoustic modelling and technical evidence demonstrating that with the acoustic barrier in place, noise levels would be below background noise levels and lead to no observed adverse effect, combined with the site's locational context adjacent to the M62 and existing employment zone uses, satisfied the Inspector that the proposed operation without the restrictions would not cause significant harmful noise impact to neighbouring residents.
