Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the variation of conditions nos 9, 10, and 13 on the living conditions of occupants of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance.
What decided it
The existing planning conditions controlling noise levels, dust, hours of operation, and requiring prior approval for external plant, combined with the site's physical separation and barriers from residential properties, adequately protect neighbouring amenity; the variation of conditions 9 and 10 is acceptable but condition 13 must be retained to prevent uncontrolled operation of external plant machinery.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 33 of the Horsham District Planning Framework 2015
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
