Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the appropriateness of the location of the development

What decided it

The development's adverse impact on the character and appearance of the rural area, creating visual discord inconsistent with the Low Farmland landscape setting, combined with insufficient evidence of positive contribution to rural economy and community prosperity, renders it inappropriate for its location and in conflict with the development plan.
