Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal represents a suitable location for the development, having regard to relevant policies on development in the open countryside and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the existing site access is adequate to accommodate traffic movements arising from the proposal
The effect of the proposal on ecology and biodiversity on the site

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the removal of the hedgerow and the resulting incongruous visual impact of the caravan storage in the open countryside, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns, outweighed the limited economic benefits and biodiversity net gain.
