Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether sufficient information has been submitted to assess the environmental effects of the proposal
- if so, whether the environmental effects of the proposal would be acceptable with particular regard to noise and disturbance, vibration, dust/air quality, including the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties
- whether it has been demonstrated that the site is suitable for residential development of the scale proposed
What decided it
The site is allocated for residential development in the Kirklees Local Plan and the environmental effects of the proposal, including those arising from necessary remediation works, would be acceptable and capable of being managed through conditions.
The temporary disruption to nearby residents from remediation and construction works was outweighed by the principle of development on an allocated housing site and the acceptability of environmental effects when properly managed through conditions.
