Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be an appropriate form of development in the countryside and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause limited but material harm to the character of the countryside with no special reasons demonstrating why the development needs to be there, and the limited benefits of on-site maintenance are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside.
The limited benefits of on-site maintenance were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on the character and beauty of the countryside, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
