Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, with regard to the development strategy for the area and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on designated employment land
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, light pollution and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would harmfully encroach on a designated Strategic Green Gap and the approved landscape buffer, introducing significant non-residential built form that would erode the visual and physical separation between settlements and fail to conserve their setting, contrary to the development plan.
