Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with regard to odour
  • highway safety
  • parking pressures
  • whether the site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The identified harm to character and appearance within a protected national landscape and to living conditions of nearby occupiers through odour emissions could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of the development.
