Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The localised impact of the solar panels and the limited visibility from surrounding areas, combined with the ability to screen them through existing and additional landscaping, meant the development would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
