Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal's location beyond development limits within defined strategic and green gaps, combined with its material adverse effect on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding rural area, which would not be justified by any of the policy exceptions available.
