Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties with particular regard to smell and potential noise and general disturbance

What decided it

The development conflicts with local plan policies protecting character and appearance and residential amenity due to the visual prominence of the structure and signs, and the material harm to nearby residents from noise and odours that cannot be adequately controlled by conditions.
