Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be acceptable in principle in this location, having regard to local planning policy with regards to the location of employment development within the open countryside
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development conflicts with local planning policies protecting the open countryside because the timber merchant business does not meet the requirement that a countryside location be essential, and no substantive evidence was provided to demonstrate that alternative sites could not meet the appellants' requirements.
