Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the suitability of the appeal site for the development proposed, having regard to the waste management requirements of local policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The economic necessity of the regrading work to enable farm diversification and sustain the farming operation, supported by the Framework's requirement to support agricultural diversification, outweighed the moderate conflict with the waste management strategy of the development plan.

The conflict with the waste management strategy of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan (given moderate weight) was outweighed by the significant economic benefits of enabling agricultural diversification and sustaining the farming operation (given significant weight), with the temporary and ultimately neutral landscape effects not weighing against the proposal.
