Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the corrected breach of planning control on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site is sustainably located
- the effect of the development on the integrity of the River Wensum Special Area for Conservation
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, combined with the unsustainable location and the unresolved risk to the integrity of the River Wensum SAC, outweighed the other considerations in favour of the appellants.
The significant harm to character and appearance, the unsustainable location, and the unresolved risk to the SAC significantly outweighed the limited social and economic benefits and the appellants' personal circumstances, so neither permanent nor temporary planning permission was justified.
