Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring residential properties, having particular regard to pollution, including noise and disturbance
  • highway safety

What decided it

The harmful effects on the character and appearance of the rural area, living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, and highway safety from large commercial vehicles on unsuitable narrow rural lanes collectively outweigh the economic benefits of the joinery workshop use.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP20, Saved Policy C14, Policy CP27, Policy CP31
