Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would constitute an acceptable form of development in this location, having regard to the provisions of local and national policy relating to the location of development
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate a demonstrable need for a live work unit in this countryside location outside the settlement boundary, and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural landscape and create unacceptable highway safety impacts.
