Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the site for the proposed development would be suitable in the countryside having regard to local plan policies governing such proposals
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The location of the site outside the development framework in the countryside without a specific business case for rural location and with poor accessibility by sustainable transport modes, contrary to Policies S/6, S/7, S/11 and TI/2 of the Local Plan.
Framework references: 87, 135, 139, 212
Plan policies cited: Policy S/6, Policy S/7, Policy S/11, Policy TI/2, Policy NH/2, Policy HQ/1
