Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use represents a suitable form of development within the countryside
  • The effect of the change of use on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The existing business was already located in the countryside as an established operation, making the expansion of existing business provisions applicable rather than requiring a sequential test for alternative sites, combined with the noise impact assessment demonstrating no observed effect level above background noise when conditions are imposed.
