Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape
  • highway safety

What decided it

The modest scale of the development, its rural equestrian character, retention of open space, and the low traffic flows on an adequately-sized road network with good visibility meant the proposal would not harm landscape character or highway safety.
