Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether this is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Stammers Farm, with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—inappropriate location outside settlement boundaries, harm to countryside character and appearance, and unmitigated noise impact on neighbouring residents—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
Plan policies cited: Policy S8, Policy E1, Policy D1
