Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the rural economy and the landscape character of the countryside
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and lighting

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the landscape character of the countryside through the introduction of large structures and permanent access infrastructure in an open, rural and largely undeveloped landscape, which outweighs the economic benefits of farm diversification.
