Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers from noise, disturbance and overbearing impact of the constrained access arrangement significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply and employment.
The modest benefits of housing supply and short-term employment were accorded moderate weight, but the significant adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions and conflict with up-to-date development plan policies were accorded significant weight, with the harm significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the NPPF as a whole.
Framework references: 8, 11, 116, 135
