Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, having regard to matters of siting, design and external appearance
What decided it
The siting, design and external appearance of the proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, and therefore would not constitute permitted development under the GPDO.
