Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is sustainable development that is in accordance with the Development Plan, when read as a whole
  • and if so, whether there are any adverse impacts that are of sufficient weight to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the presumption in favour of determining planning applications in accordance with the Development Plan

What decided it

The significant benefits of hazardous waste reduction, green energy generation and carbon savings, combined with the acceptability of the location and the ability of conditions to mitigate any residual harms, meant the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh those benefits.

The adverse impacts of the development were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the benefits (reduced hazardous waste export, green energy generation and carbon savings), so the presumption in favour of sustainable development was applied and permission granted.
