Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having regards to local planning policies
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development falls within the essential operations for agriculture under Policy DM47 and no suitable alternative locations exist within local settlement areas, combined with the poly tunnel's modest appearance and effective integration within the rural agricultural setting.
