Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character of the Strategic Landscape with regard to its scale and form
  • whether the residential use of the building would be appropriate in the location
  • whether the excavated land would be suitably retained in respect of the former use of the land for mining operations

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—landscape harm, unjustified residential use in a rural location, and inadequate retention of excavated land—and no material considerations outweigh this conflict.
