Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The combination of sensitive design integration with the landscape (stone cladding, stepped walls, vegetation screening) and demonstrated highway safety through elevated sighting lines and low-speed rural lane conditions meant the development caused no material harm to character and appearance or highway safety.
