Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would be an efficient use of land
- whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Council's Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPD 2016 (SADMP), its Core Strategy 2009 (CS), the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) and accessibility
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the inefficient use of land, when weighed against the modest benefits of the scheme, demonstrably outweighed the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
the adverse impacts of the proposal in respect of character and appearance and efficient use of land, attracting significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the several benefits of the scheme, which attracted moderate weight overall, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
