Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the location for the proposed use, with particular regard to local and national policy
- The safe and efficient operation of the highway network with particular regard to the rural character of the area
What decided it
The unique operational requirements of the vehicle auction business and the demonstrated lack of suitable alternative locations within a reasonable radius, combined with acceptable highway impacts, justified the rural location in accordance with NPPF paragraph 88 and local plan policies.
