Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether, in the event of harm being identified in respect of the first main issue, there are material considerations to indicate that a decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The visual prominence and intrusiveness of the cabin as an alien feature in the open countryside, combined with the failure to demonstrate that temporary storage needs could not be met in a less harmful manner, outweighed any short-term agricultural benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN4Policy DS2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
