Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether there is an agricultural justification for the track
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety with regard to highways visibility and whether the wider network could accommodate the traffic generated
- Whether the proposal would or could provide any ecological enhancement
What decided it
The proposal would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area through the introduction of an overly engineered formal track and loss of dry stone walling, combined with insufficient agricultural justification and highway safety concerns, conflicting with the development plan.
