Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The substantial economic benefits of the development combined with its temporary nature as a 'meanwhile use' outweighed the minor harm caused by conflict with the development plan regarding location outside the settlement boundary.
