Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed use would be located in a suitable location with respect to local and national policies
  • whether the agricultural holding site includes an established mixed use as a viable fall-back position

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the proposed waste transfer/skip hire use was in a suitable location in accordance with local and national waste and countryside policies.

The benefits of a suitable, policy-compliant location, rural employment provision and reuse of redundant agricultural buildings, together with a moderate-weight fallback position, led the Inspector to conclude the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
