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.
