Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in a suitable location having regard to the relevant policies of the Cotswold District Local Plan 2018 and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including whether it would conserve or enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswold National Landscape Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
What decided it
The temporary 2-year nature of the development combined with its minor and localised visual impact on the AONB, together with the significant weight given to the business benefits for staff recruitment, justified granting permission despite conflict with Local Plan policies requiring permanent need for rural workers' accommodation.
Framework references: 84
