Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would amount to small scale economic development, and if so, whether the future users would have reasonable access to sustainable travel modes
What decided it
The proposals would constitute small scale economic development with future users having reasonable access to sustainable travel modes, satisfying local plan policies DP1, DP14 and DP21 and the Framework's support for rural economic development.
The benefits of small scale economic development supporting the rural economy and making efficient use of previously developed land outweighed any concerns, with the proposals satisfying the development plan when taken as a whole.
Framework references: 56
Plan policies cited: Policy DP1, Policy DP14, Policy DP21
