Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
- the absence of associated parking provision
What decided it
The development aligns with local plan policies on character and appearance, and parking standards cannot be reasonably imposed where no harm to highway safety is demonstrated and the likely default use had previously approved parking provision.
the limited effect on rural character and the absence of demonstrated harm to highway safety outweighed the concerns about visibility and parking provision
