Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers within properties on Millans Park, with particular reference to the potential for noise
  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ambleside Conservation Area

What decided it

The noise assessment's failure to accurately reflect the actual plant items operating on site and inconsistencies in its methodology meant the submitted evidence did not demonstrate that noise effects on neighbouring residents would be acceptable, conflicting with development plan policies on residential amenity.
