Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The combination of the site's suitability for a rural tourism use, the effectiveness of proposed landscaping to mitigate visual impact, and the availability of suitable management and mitigation measures to control noise and protect neighbouring amenity.
The benefits of sustainable rural tourism development and economic contribution to the local economy outweighed the visual impact of introducing built structures into an open field, provided that impact was adequately mitigated through landscaping and management.
