Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the breach of planning control on the development plan strategy for the area and compliance with policies S/7 and H/19 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018
- The character and appearance of the area including landscape character
- Best and versatile agricultural land
- The living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties in respect of noise
What decided it
The development causes significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and conflicts with development plan policies S/7, H/19 and NH/3 regarding countryside protection and loss of best and most versatile agricultural land, with insufficient justification for the residential use.
