®Planning appeal decision
Land at Gyrn (Little Gyrn Fields), Gyrn Road, Selattyn, Oswestry, SY10 7DL
we would like to place a twenty foot steel container on the land. This unit is required to store our old Ferguson tractor and various tools and equipment in. We intend to disguise the container by setting it into the sloping land and planting trees and shrubs around it

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would accord with policy MD7b of the Site Allocations and Management of Development Plan 2015 in terms of location and the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The container would be well-screened by existing mature trees and new evergreen planting, positioned at the bottom of a sloping field, and finished in dark green, ensuring it would blend into the landscape and not appear as a conspicuous or alien feature when viewed from public areas.
