Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area taking into account the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
  • whether the appeal site represents an acceptable location for the appeal development in terms of sustainable transport
  • the effect of noise on the occupiers of nearby properties

What decided it

The development's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, to which great weight must be given, combined with its unsustainable location and unassessed noise risks, outweighed the economic and social benefits claimed.
