Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether conditions (2) and (3) of planning permission ref. 19/01372/FUL ("the Previous Permission") are reasonable and necessary with particular regard to (a) whether the site provides acceptable living conditions for its occupants in respect of aircraft noise; and (b) whether there are any other material considerations that might otherwise indicate that permission should be granted
What decided it
The limited noise-related harm did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal when assessed against the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11.
the small benefits of housing supply and providing a home outweighed the limited adverse noise impacts, so the proposal benefited from the presumption in favour of sustainable development
