Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for the proposal, having particular regard to development plan policies
What decided it
The significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area arising from the prominent and incongruous siting of the service building, car park and bell tents in the open rural landscape was the prevailing consideration that outweighed locational compliance with development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy DM1, Policy CP6, Policy SB1, Policy CP8, Policy DM2, Policy CP1, Policy A5, Policy SD1
