Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the availability of transport choices and the provisions of the development plan
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of nearby heritage assets

What decided it

The appeal site's unsuitability as a location due to its remoteness from settlements, poor transport connectivity, and failure to meet the development plan's locational policies outweighed the neutral heritage and character findings.
