Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition is necessary and reasonable in the interests of the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The restrictions on the number of moored vessels and personnel occupying safety and educational boats would limit vehicle movements and parking pressure, thereby preventing unacceptable noise and disturbance to residential amenities despite the broadened use.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM1(B)

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.
