Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the transport and highways impacts of the development, set out in condition Q2(1)(a) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
- Whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the design or external appearance of the building, set out in condition Q2(1)(f) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposals would fail to comply with the prior approval conditions relating to both transport and highways impacts and design or external appearance, with the highway safety concerns and the harm to rural character being determinative.
