Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there is an agricultural need for the formation of slurry lagoon in this location, including effects on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the formation of a slurry lagoon on ecology and biodiversity
- the effect of the formation of a slurry lagoon on groundwater
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on groundwater
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
What decided it
the parties' agreed position that the development complied with the development plan, with previously disputed harms (character, ecology, groundwater, living conditions) resolved by agreed conditions
no significant harms were identified and the development plan was complied with, so no adverse impacts were found to weigh against granting permission (Appeals B and C); on Appeal A, the varied notice balanced remedying the breach expediently against allowing time to implement the newly-granted slurry lagoon permission
