Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, No 43 Storthes Hall Lane, by way of noise

What decided it

The absence of a noise assessment undertaken by a suitably qualified professional meant the Inspector could not be convinced that occupiers of the neighbouring property would not experience adverse noise issues, conflicting with policies LP24 and LP52 of the Local Plan.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
LP24LP52

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.
