Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside
  • its effect on heritage assets and the historic environment
  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to its intended use and the need for it, and local and national planning policy for development in the countryside

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, combined with the failure to demonstrate a local need for the development in the countryside location, outweighed any unsubstantiated economic benefits.

The benefits do not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the conflict with the Council's spatial strategy for countryside, heritage assets and economic development.
