Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute acceptable development in the open countryside
- The impact on the Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Emergency Plan
What decided it
The proposed development would create a separate planning unit constituting a new dwelling in the open countryside contrary to the development plan's spatial strategy, and would increase the permanent night-time population within the AWE Emergency Plan consultation zone contrary to Policy CS8.
