Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that the proposal to vary condition 6 and permit extended hours within which tipping activities could take place would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to the levels of noise and dust which would arise from it

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptably harmful effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased noise from large vehicle movements during extended hours, particularly on weekends and public holidays, which would erode the respite residents currently benefit from.
