Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The fallback position established by the Certificate of Lawful Development, combined with the visual improvement from consolidating the lawful use within a building rather than dispersed across the site, carried sufficient weight to outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
The material considerations, including the fallback position and associated visual and biodiversity benefits, outweighed the identified conflict with the development plan and the Framework.
