Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site and proposal would be in a suitable location, having regard to the requirements of local and national policy
What decided it
The nature of the proposed use as a secure dog walking facility inherently requires a large open countryside location, and the site's proximity to Leamington Spa combined with low-intensity operation made it a suitable location despite car dependency.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
