Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant policies relating to the countryside and rural character
- Whether it can provide sufficient car parking to function as proposed
What decided it
The proposal fails to justify the necessity of a countryside location and causes unacceptable harm to rural character through the visual and physical incongruity of the frame and cargo netting structure, combined with the absence of designated car parking provision.
