Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is suitable and appropriate for the development having regard to its location
  • effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The location of the site close to established rural and national road networks, combined with the limited extent and scale of the aggregate storage and haulage activity, the economic and social benefits, and the ability to mitigate visual impact through landscaping conditions, provided reasonable and sufficient exceptions to justify allowing development outside development limits despite its unauthorised commencement.

The advanced benefits of the development, in its complete form, would substantially outweigh the limited adverse visual effect in relation to character and promoting sustainable patterns of development.
