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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CSP18 of the Tandridge District Core Strategy 2008Policy DP7 of the Tandridge Local Plan: Part 2 – Detailed Policies 2014
