Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is a temporary need for a mobile home
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of a Grade II Listed Building

What decided it

The temporary nature of the proposal to facilitate essential building works at an established rural business, combined with moderate public benefits that outweigh the less than substantial harm to the Listed Building setting, justified permission despite technical conflicts with development plan policies.
