Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the rural area
- Whether or not it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect upon biodiversity, having particular regard to the impact upon GCNs and to biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The cumulative scale, construction and appearance of the proposed barns and arenas would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, which is the overriding consideration.
The limited recreational benefits and small biodiversity net gain do not outweigh the considerable harm to character and appearance of the rural area.
