Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
  • whether or not the development is an appropriate scale of business expansion to justify its location within the countryside

What decided it

The cumulative visual harm to the rural landscape caused by the loss of approved landscaping mitigation and the disproportionate scale of expansion outweighs the economic benefits of the business expansion.
