Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the development on the character and appearance of the rural landscape
- The impact of the development on the setting of Wainman's Pinnacle
What decided it
The shipping container structures and associated domestic paraphernalia unacceptably intrude on the isolated setting of Wainman's Pinnacle and unduly harm the character and appearance of the rural landscape, contrary to development plan policies and national guidance, with no public benefits to justify the harm.
Plan policies cited: Policy ENV1, Policy ENV3, Policy SP4
