Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the principle of the development proposed accords with the strategy in the development plan and would be sustainable development
  • Whether the proposal amounts to an acceptable form of 'infilling'
  • Whether development in the vicinity of the site would result in a poor and unsatisfactory residential environment for the occupiers by virtue of odour and noise
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan strategy for countryside locations, would cause significant harm to rural character through a cramped appearance, lacks sustainability due to poor accessibility, and fails to demonstrate protection of future occupiers from noise and odour impacts from adjacent commercial operations.
