Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed use would be suitably located with regard to development plan policies relating to the countryside
  • Whether the proposed use would be suitably located with regard to accessibility and minimising the need to travel by car

What decided it

The justification for a countryside location for a secure dog exercise facility, combined with the limited scale of operation and support from rural diversification policies, outweighs the conflict with accessibility requirements.
