Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The development unacceptably harms the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area through the introduction of structures, vehicles, and hardstanding that create an urbanising intrusion into the open countryside, conflicting with County Durham Plan Policies 10 and 39.
Plan policies cited: Policy 10, Policy 39, Policy 31
