Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location is suitable for the proposed developments, having regard to relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character
- the effect of the proposals upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to levels of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposals conflict with the development plan on all three main issues—location suitability, landscape character harm, and inability to secure control of noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers—and the collective benefits do not outweigh the totality of harm identified.
Framework references: 88, 89
Plan policies cited: Policy SS1, Policy SS2, Policy SS10, Policy SS11, Policy E4, Policy DC3, Policy DC1
