Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is acceptable in principle with regard to development plan policy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan as a whole, being unacceptable in principle in the countryside location and causing harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, with no material considerations outweighing these findings.

Plan policies cited: WLP1.2, WLP8.7, WLP8.13, WLP8.29, WLP8.35
