Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal was found to comply with the relevant development plan policies (S3, LC1) and to cause no harm to the character, appearance or heritage setting of the site and surrounding area.
The proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole, with no material considerations indicating a decision otherwise, so no tilted balance was engaged; limited weight was attached to concerns about sustainable transport given the rural context and mitigating conditions.
