Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area and highway safety

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the prominent stacking of shipping containers, which would jar against the well-maintained appearance of the industrial estate, outweighed any unquantified economic benefits to the business.

The economic benefits of the development did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM4
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 81Paragraph 130

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
