Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting, design and external appearance of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the landscape

What decided it

The proposed building's significant size and bulk in an isolated position within an open field would stand out starkly against the natural landscape and detract significantly from the intrinsic beauty and qualities of the countryside, with proposed mitigation measures being insufficient to remedy this harm.

Plan policies cited: CS policy SS6, CS policy SD1, CS policy LD1, NP policy B6, NP policy B7, NP policy B14, NP policy B15

- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
