Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on nearby occupiers living conditions, with particular regard to noise
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the site provides a suitable location for the development, with particular regard to the local spatial strategy
- The effect of the development on highway safety with particular regard to on-site parking and manoeuvring
What decided it
The absence of acoustic assessment or technical noise evidence to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for nearby residents, combined with modest harm to rural character and appearance, meant the development conflicted with the development plan read as a whole.
