What decided it

The Inspector concluded the case involved genuine planning judgement on landscape harm versus benefits, and since the appeal was dismissed the scheme was not one that should 'clearly' have been permitted, so the Council's refusal was not unreasonable.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy ENV4
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 56
