Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The enclosure of the appeal site had very limited effect on the visual amenities of the area and did not undermine the spacious or attractive landscape setting, therefore not harming character and appearance.
