Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not conditions 4 and 7 are necessary and reasonable in the interests of protecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The lack of clear evidence that the proposed noise and vibration mitigation measures have been fully implemented and would be sufficiently effective to protect neighbouring residents from sleep disturbance and adverse living conditions, particularly during the proposed early morning operating hours from 05:00.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy R19, Policy SADM18
