Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether Condition No 5 of Appeal A and Condition No 1 of Appeal B are necessary to provide for acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to air quality
What decided it
The updated technical odour assessment evidence (applying 2018 IAQM guidance) demonstrated that predicted odour effects on future occupiers would be negligible to slight adverse, meaning the 30m buffer was not necessary for acceptable living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 2Policy 5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 193Paragraph 135Paragraph 180
