Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed residences would provide a satisfactory living environment having regard to the effects of noise and noise mitigation measures
  • The provision of affordable housing and contributions to mitigate the effects of the proposal on facilities

What decided it

The unacceptable external and internal noise effects from the M6 motorway on future occupants' living conditions outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of housing delivery, sustainability, economic activity and biodiversity enhancement were of insufficient weight to outweigh the very significant weight attached to the noise harm, so the appeal was dismissed
