Lynne,
Please read this thread and in particular my comments.
Noise is a material planning consideration in determining planning applications. There is no noise survey accompanying the planning application. Neither is there any suggestion as to how the noise can be mitigated.
The archaeology facility does have a very big catchment area and its fate is of interest to people outside the immediate local area. They say the noise is a problem. In this situation the council is forced rightly or wrongly to refuse the application on gounds of lack of infomation.
Blogs are in fact a vital part of modern democracy and people have a right to their opinions.
I think this thread should end here.

After posting this I have seen defending the truths post ....
I would point out some facts:
1. local people do not vote on planning matters but they can comment.
2. The intending opening hours are not that relevant in many respects the issue is simple will the noise be a problem.
