Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would accord with the relevant planning policies relating to development in the countryside
  • the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the development should be required to contribute to mitigation measures in relation to the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area

What decided it

The proposal accords with Policy CP11 and NPPF paragraphs 88-89 supporting rural enterprises and countryside leisure activities, and causes no significant harm to character, appearance, the SPA or flood risk, such that permission should be granted.

Framework references: 88, 89, 56

Plan policies cited: Policy CP11, Policy CP1, Policy CP3, Policy CP8, Policy TB21, Policy NRM6
