Bellway agree with the sentiment of draft Policy NE23, acknowledging that noise can have an impact on the living conditions of future occupiers in residentials developments. Bellway has no objection to the criteria therein, albeit consider that in many cases (beyond AONB’s) such matters are capable of being addressed by means of an appropriately worded condition. This observation is perhaps more pertinent to the validation list than the draft Plan. Bellway contend that the draft Policy ‘Noise’ as conveyed in the draft Plan has been positively prepared, is fully justified, effective and consistent with the NPPF.
