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.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP4, Policy SP2, Policy EP8
