Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- neighbours' living conditions, in terms of visual impact and disturbance through traffic movements
What decided it
The development causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the predominantly rural area, conflicting with local plan policies 1, 2, 3 and 7, and no conditions could overcome this harm.
The economic benefits of the catering business and employment creation were insufficient to outweigh the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the rural area.
Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7
