Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The extent to which the proposed development would result in landscape and visual harm to this greenfield countryside site and surrounding area.
  • Whether it would be, or could be, made accessible by sustainable transport modes.
  • The appropriate weight to be given to any harms and to the benefits of the scheme, and consequently the overall planning balance as assessed against NPPF Policy S5.
