Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the significance of the Thoroton Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to noise and disturbance from vehicle movements
- whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposed development, including the site's accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the requirement that development in "other settlements" must be for local needs only, and the site lacks suitable accessibility to services and facilities, making it an unsuitable location contrary to the development plan's hierarchical approach to sustainable development.
