Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for an event venue, with particular regard to the local development strategy and travel considerations
  • the effect of the proposal on the foul sewage system

What decided it

The appeal site's isolated countryside location, poor accessibility, and inevitable reliance on private vehicle travel for visitors make it an inappropriate location for an event venue contrary to the local development strategy and sustainable development principles in the adopted Joint Local Plan.
