Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is acceptable in principle
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on users of the public right of way (PROW)
  • the effect on the strategic highway network and highway safety
  • the effect on the living conditions of residents in Ellington, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect on flood risk
  • the effect on protected species and biodiversity

What decided it

The absence of sufficient information to demonstrate that the development does not conflict with development plan policies on character and appearance, highway safety, flood risk, and biodiversity, combined with the expansion of operations beyond the scope of the 2006 permission, means the principle of development is not supported.
