Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would be an acceptable countryside use, having regard to whether it supports an agricultural enterprise
What decided it
Policy S5 of the Framework supports agricultural development outside settlements without requiring it to support an existing agricultural enterprise, and the modest benefits of supporting existing agricultural activities and facilitating land management are not substantially outweighed by the adverse effects when assessed against the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
weighing the benefits of supporting existing agricultural activities and facilitating ongoing management and maintenance of the land against the limited adverse effects including the development plan conflict, the benefits of granting planning permission would not be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of doing so
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S2 of the High Peak Local Plan 2016Policy EQ2 of the HPLPPolicy EQ3 of the HPLPPolicy EQ6 of the HPLP
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
