Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to (a) relevant development plan policies for the countryside, and (b) its effect on the character and appearance of the landscape and area
- whether the statutory biodiversity gain condition (BGC) would be capable of being successfully discharged
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the development would not harmfully affect the character and appearance of the countryside and that the statutory biodiversity gain condition could be successfully discharged, meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
