Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether, in principle, the development would accord with the relevant local and national planning policies relating to economic development in the rural area
  • the effects on the character and appearance of the area and the surrounding National Landscape
  • the effects of the development on the occupiers of nearby properties and users of bridleway No 0516/82/1

What decided it

The absence of any controls over traffic movements on the existing private roadway access would result in unacceptable impacts on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions and safety for road users and bridleway users, which outweighed the development's economic benefits.
