Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties in respect of noise and disturbance
- the safe movement and operation of vehicles in Scotland Lane
- the character and appearance of the countryside
- the significance and setting of the Burton Overy Conservation Area
What decided it
The material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from general disturbance caused by the character of dog barking and associated comings and goings, combined with significant harm to the rural character of the countryside and the setting of the conservation area, collectively outweighed the economic and social benefits of the development.
