The tier sentence ¶8

“a key service route”

Summary

Class MA prior approval for two flats above a Romford shop was refused on the MA.2(2)(d) noise criterion. The noise survey covered only a single weekday, next to a leisure park and a kebab shop, so it was not robust (DL ¶11). The revised Framework was "broadly consistent" and was applied only so far as relevant to noise (DL ¶¶2, 6).
