Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying condition 4 would have on vehicular and pedestrian safety
- The effect that varying condition 4 would have on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The absence of a proper noise impact assessment demonstrating that increased dog numbers could be accommodated without adverse noise impacts on neighbouring properties, combined with unresolved concerns about the capacity of the private access track to safely accommodate additional vehicle movements.
