Office At, 41 Bute Street, Salford, M50 1DU

1. 1.The development, by reason of the continued operation of the bread manufacturing use and associated extraction equipment, results in an unacceptable noise impact on nearby residential properties. The submitted Noise Impact Assessment identifies a significant adverse impact from the extraction equipment during both daytime and night-time periods in the absence of mitigation. Whilst mitigation measures are identified within the assessment, the submitted information does not demonstrate that those measures have been implemented or provide sufficient details to secure their implementation and ongoing effectiveness. The Local Planning Authority is therefore not satisfied that the development would provide an acceptable standard of amenity for nearby residential occupiers or adequately mitigate the identified noise impact. The development is contrary to policies D5 (Amenity) and PH1 (Pollution Control) of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations, policies JP-S1 (Sustainable Development) and JP-P1 (Sustainable Places) of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan 2022–2039, and policy P3 (Living conditions and pollution) of the National Planning Policy Framework (August 2026). Article 35 Declaration The development does not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application.
