Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed use falls within the permitted development rights under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the GPDO
  • If so, whether the prior approval details relating to transport and highway impacts and noise impacts would be acceptable

What decided it

The prior approval details relating to transport and highway impacts and noise impacts were not acceptable, as the concentrated vehicular movements would create safety conflicts on narrow rural lanes and the noise impacts on nearby dwellings had not been adequately assessed or mitigated.
