Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings within the rural landscape
- highway safety
What decided it
The mixed use of the site for open storage and vehicle parking in a rural location would erode the rural character and appearance of the environment and create a highway safety issue, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
The development plan conflicts regarding harm to rural character and appearance and highway safety were not outweighed by any material considerations.
