Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the car workshop building on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with regard to noise
What decided it
The absence of meaningful and enforceable noise mitigation measures, combined with the proximity of the open-fronted workshop building to residential properties and documented history of noise complaints, means the development would cause significant and unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers that outweighs the modest economic benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy C6
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
