Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on highway safety along Main Street
  • Whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed use, having regard to relevant development plan policies for development in the countryside, and the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside
  • Whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed use, having regard to the accessibility of the site
  • The effects of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed development would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety along Main Street due to restricted visibility at the access point combined with a significant increase in vehicular movements from the change of use.
