Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The development fails to demonstrate that it meets local business needs or that relocation would be unreasonable, and it causes substantial harmful effects on the character and appearance of the Special Landscape Area through expansion of built form into open countryside and disruption of prominent public views.
