Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the location of the development is acceptable, having regard to the relevant policies and guidance on the matter of its location
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to its location within the Cotswold National Landscape
- The effect of the development on highway safety on the surrounding highway network, having regard to the traffic generated by the development
- Whether or not the development causes detriment to highway safety, having regard to the suitability of the access to the site from the highway
What decided it
Whether the noise, traffic and landscape/ecology effects of the events use could be adequately mitigated by conditions (including a revised noise management plan and access track) so as to render the development acceptable and in accordance with the development plan.
The substantial economic benefits of the development and the finding that its adverse effects on living conditions, character/appearance, highway safety and ecology could be adequately mitigated by conditions led to the conclusion that the development accorded with the development plan, with no material considerations indicating a different determination.
