Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition No. 6 is reasonable and necessary in the interest of protecting the living conditions of occupants of 1 and 2 Carewell Farm Cottages, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed increase in the number of dogs from 4 to 8 per field would significantly increase noise-generating activity in an already noisy area and could not be adequately controlled through unspecified criteria, whereas the proposed extended operating hours would have only minimal harmful effect on neighbouring residents.
