Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the locational requirements of the development plan
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential properties with regard to noise
  • the ecological effects of the proposal

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan in respect of location, living conditions, and ecology, and the material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan.
