Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the development on the living conditions of residential occupiers of the adjoining land, with particular regard to outlook and light
  • The adequacy of the surface water drainage

What decided it

The substantial scale, industrial design and extent of the building and hardstanding cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the semi-rural area and to the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies with no material considerations to override this.
