Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is sustainably located with particular reference to access to services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's sustainable location with good access to services and facilities, combined with the proposed development's low-key appearance that would not harmfully affect the character and appearance of the area, outweighed the conflict with Policy E7's screening criterion.

Although the proposed development would conflict with Policy E7's winter screening requirement, the benefits to the local economy and farm from visitor accommodation, combined with the sustainable location and lack of harmful visual impact, justified allowing the appeal.
