Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the local development strategy and the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on highway safety
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The modest scale of the proposals, visual screening by intervening hedgerows, and the countryside location being appropriate for livestock keeping, combined with no demonstrable harm to highway safety or neighbouring living conditions, made the appeal site suitable for the development in accordance with the development plan.
