Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the developments, singularly or cumulatively, on the character of the countryside
What decided it
The storage of prefabricated units does not require a countryside location and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside through visual intrusion and urbanising effect.
