- Authority
- Lancashire County Council
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- minerals-waste · Other minor developments
- Inspector
- Martinson P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the users of the access road, a public right of way
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the rural area and would not enhance rural character as required by Policies RD2 and LT6, and there was no evidence demonstrating an operational need for the development to be located in the countryside rather than an urban industrial unit.
