Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether conditions two and seven are reasonable and necessary having regard to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- whether the development occupies an acceptable location for a permanent residential dwelling having regard to relevant development plan policies and policies in the Framework
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents with particular regard to amenity space, noise, disturbance and odour
What decided it
The proposal would not provide an acceptable location for a permanent residential dwelling and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents due to isolation from services and exposure to business disturbance without adequate protective conditions.
