Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal site would be in an accessible location with regard to local services and facilities
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully erode the open and rural character of the countryside by encroaching into an undeveloped gap in the built form, and the site lacks accessibility to local services and facilities, requiring car dependency for essential activities.
