Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local policies relating to the countryside and employment
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with special regard to the Cotswolds National Landscape
- The effect of the proposed development on the listed building
What decided it
The failure to comply with Local Plan Policy EC3 relating to employment development in the countryside, combined with the inability to secure adequate parking to protect highway safety and the unresolved impact on protected bat species, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate a decision otherwise.
