Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is in an appropriate location having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The appeal site, despite not being the perfect location, was found to meet the established functional need of the agricultural business on a temporary basis while being sufficiently screened to avoid harm to the area's character and appearance.

the development accords with the development plan taken as a whole and no material considerations, including the Framework, indicated a decision otherwise, so the appeal was allowed
