Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties with regard to noise
- Whether the site is in an accessible location having regard to local planning policies
- The effect of the development on the best and most versatile agricultural land (BMV)
What decided it
The management plan's mitigation measures, combined with the Environmental Protection Officer's assessment that complaints monitoring would provide appropriate safeguards against significant noise disturbance, were sufficient to overcome concerns about living conditions and allow the appeal.
