Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The Inspector could not be confident that the Noise Management Plan would be complied with by unsupervised guests, meaning actual noise levels could exceed those predicted and cause harmful disturbance to neighbouring residents in an inherently quiet rural location.

Policy ENV6 of the North Norfolk Local Plan (2025)
