Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The established vegetation along the A565 and Blackgate Lane would partially screen the proposed agricultural building, visually containing it and ensuring it would be read as an agricultural structure within its agricultural setting without adverse effect on character and appearance.
