Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposed development taking account of relevant local and national policies; including having particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, the proximity of the site to the services and facilities visitors would require access to in order meet day-to-day needs, and the opportunities that would be available for transport options other than the private motor vehicle
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of existing dwellings within proximity of the site
- the effect of the proposed development on wildlife and biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the countryside, cause unacceptable noise disturbance to neighbouring residents, and fail to demonstrate protection of protected species and biodiversity net gain, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.
