Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for the development, bearing in mind development plan policy, the accessibility of the location, and the effect of the development on the rural character of the area
- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating substantial employment development in an unsustainable remote countryside location that would harm rural character and create highway safety risks, and these harms are not outweighed by the economic benefits offered.
