Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, which falls within the Dartmoor National Park
  • whether the proposal would be served by an adequate means of surface water drainage

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the Dartmoor National Park through its harsh siting, poor relationship to ground levels, and lack of robust agricultural justification, contrary to the development plan.

The limited benefits to the appellant did not amount to a consideration of sufficient materiality to outweigh the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
