Whether the proposal would accord with the spatial strategy of the Development Plan in respect of its access to services and facilities

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the rural landscape and the setting of the National Landscape, combined with poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes of transport, substantially outweighed the economic and environmental benefits of the proposal.

The benefits of the proposal, including economic contributions, renewable energy generation, electric vehicle charging, biodiversity improvements and social benefits, were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on landscape character and accessibility to services and facilities.
