General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/scale/design, not adversely affect amenity/character, and provide satisfactory standards. Officer assessed the compressor unit's external siting, scale, noise, odour, and visual impact as compliant, with no significant harm to visual/residential amenity or locality character.
Environment Policy 22
Prohibits development unacceptably harming amenity via emissions, noise, odour etc. Officer found low compressor noise not significant vs existing system, no odour/nuisance, thus no unacceptable harm.
