Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in order to mitigate noise disturbance impacts on residents of nearby properties
What decided it
The noise evidence demonstrated that predicted delivery noise levels would be substantially lower than existing peak noise events from adjacent industrial operations, and the site layout provides natural shielding from residential properties, making the blanket delivery hour restriction unreasonable when a noise management plan provides adequate protection.
