Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed landscaping scheme would increase the amount of landscaping on the site and regularise the current ad-hoc parking, providing visual enhancement in the longer term and assisting in providing a green corridor whilst softening the industrial unit, thereby not having a significant detrimental effect on character and appearance.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy BNE1, Policy BNE4

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
