Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the development would not harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise
What decided it
The Noise Impact Assessment provided sufficient evidence that external noise levels would not exceed WHO guidelines for protecting neighbouring occupiers from being seriously annoyed by noise, with predicted levels of 38 dB LAeq at the closest dwelling against a threshold of 55 dB LAeq.
