Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for development with regard to the policies of the development plan for development in the countryside and access
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside

What decided it

The out-of-date status of the development plan policies and the application of paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework, which permitted the grant of permission as the adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

The conflict with out-of-date countryside protection policies was outweighed by the moderate economic benefits of enabling sustainable growth of a rural business, assessed against the Framework as a whole, as the adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S7Policy GEN1(e)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 56

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.
