Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings with particular reference to its location in the Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV)
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to development plan policies concerning new business development in the countryside
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the rural character and appearance of a sensitive gateway location to Ide village and the AGLV, conflicting with development plan policies S2, EN2A, S22, EC3 and IDE07, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate economic benefits and biodiversity net gain.
