Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to local planning policies
What decided it
The appeal site is located in open countryside where the proposed timber merchant use does not fall within the exceptions to Policy PG6, and the appellants have not demonstrated that the nature of the business requires a countryside location or that alternative more sustainable sites have been comprehensively assessed.
Framework references: 89
Plan policies cited: Policy PG6, Policy MP1, Policy SD1, Policy SD2, Policy RUR10
