Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether this is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the local development strategy, including the grading of agricultural land
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property known as Paddlesworth, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would result in the irreversible loss of Grade 2 agricultural land without demonstrating any overriding need, conflicting with Policy NH/3 and NPPF paragraph 174, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside area.
Framework references: 174
Plan policies cited: Policy S/7, Policy NH/3, Policy HQ/1, Policy TI/2
