Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise
  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the Council's spatial strategy

What decided it

The site's proximity to Thirsk, a market town with good services and transport links, combined with the proposal's significant contribution to the rural economy and the adequacy of noise mitigation conditions, outweighed the countryside location and limited public transport accessibility.
