Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition requiring community liaison arrangements meets the six tests under paragraph 57 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024 having regard to ongoing odour management and its effect on nearby residents

What decided it

The community liaison meetings requirement does not meet the test of necessity under paragraph 57 of the NPPF because the Council and Environment Agency have sufficient enforcement mechanisms through the Odour Management Plan and separate pollution control regimes.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy LP14Policy STRAD13
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 57Paragraph 198Paragraph 201
