Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area within open countryside
  • the highway safety of the roads in the vicinity of the appeal site

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance of the countryside landscape caused by the visible parking of vehicles and temporary structures, combined with the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land, outweighed the economic benefits and meant the development conflicted with the development plan.
