Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would accord with the local development plan with regard to location
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety
  • The effect of the development on archaeological remains

What decided it

The lack of clarity regarding highway impacts, combined with harm to location and character and appearance that could not be outweighed by the development's economic benefits, led to dismissal.
