Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension to the period for use of the access track on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, by way of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The variation of condition 9 would not increase the overall number of days per year in which the access could be used (remaining at 30 days), and therefore would not result in additional noise or disturbance to the living conditions of nearby dwellings.
