Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with regard to noise, odour and disturbance
  • Whether the proposal has demonstrated that it would be safe from flooding and not increase the risk of flooding elsewhere

What decided it

The lack of substantive evidence of actual harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions despite the use operating since 2015, combined with the Council's acceptance of the revised flood risk and drainage documentation, demonstrated the proposal accords with the development plan.
