Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is in a suitable location having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the countryside
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of The Oak House in respect of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development fails to accord with the development plan on three independent grounds: it is not a suitable location under the spatial strategy, it harms rural character and appearance, and it creates unacceptable living condition impacts on neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance.
