Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development complies with the Development Plan for development outside development boundaries, with particular regard to the effect upon the character and appearance of the open countryside
- The effect of the proposed development upon biodiversity and protected species
What decided it
The poor design and layout of the buildings, particularly the proximity of a long industrial building side to the field boundary, fails to respect the environmental quality and character of the open countryside contrary to Local Plan Policies DS5A, ER8, NE5 and Neighbourhood Plan Policy HAN6.
