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.

Plan policies cited: Teignbridge Local Plan 2014 policy S2, Teignbridge Local Plan 2014 policy EN2A, Teignbridge Local Plan 2014 policy S22, Teignbridge Local Plan 2014 policy EC3, Ide Neighbourhood Plan 2018 policy IDE07, Teignbridge Local Plan 2020-2040 policy GP1, Teignbridge Local Plan 2020-2040 policy GP3, Teignbridge Local Plan 2020-2040 policy EN4
