Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the local development strategy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of Grade II* and II Listed Buildings
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to satisfy the development plan as it is not a use type supported in the countryside under Policy S/7, does not demonstrate support for agricultural business under Policy E/18, fails to preserve the setting of listed buildings contrary to Policy HQ/1, and fails to demonstrate adequate mitigation of noise and highway safety impacts.
