Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is an acceptable form of development in this location particularly with regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, which is within the Cotswolds National Landscape
What decided it
The development would harm the character and appearance of the Cotswolds National Landscape, a designation of national importance to which great weight must be given, and the builder's yard use is not a sensitive form of development appropriate to this protected landscape.
