Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed development would comply with the spatial strategy of the development plan
What decided it
The proposed development failed to meet either of the two tests in Policy 1 for countryside development, as a residential presence was not necessary to the car business use and the economic, community and environmental benefits were very limited and would not meet the sustainable development needs of the area.
The considerations put forward in favour of the scheme did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the harm to the spatial strategy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
