Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the GPDO
- If the proposal is permitted development, whether prior approval is required and should be granted with regards to: (i) transport and highways impacts of the development; (ii) noise impacts of the development; (iii) contamination risks on the site; and (iv) flooding risks on the site
What decided it
The imposition of a condition restricting hours of operation to standard business hours Monday to Friday would control noise and disturbance from the B8 storage use to an acceptable level, protecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
