Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue of the appeal is the effect of the proposed development on residential amenity with particular regard to noise.
What decided it
Cumulative uncertainties and shortcomings in the noise evidence meant the Inspector could not be satisfied that the development would not unacceptably harm the living conditions of nearby residents through noise.
The energy efficiency and economic benefits, including job creation, were attached some weight, but did not outweigh the significant weight given to the harm to residential amenity from noise.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SE12 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy, 2010-2030, 2017Policy HOU12 of the Site Allocations and Development Document, 2022Policy LEC1 of the Wrenbury Neighbourhood Plan 2010-2030
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
