Why it was refused
- The proposed siting of two shipping containers for commercial storage would introduce visually intrusive and incongruous structures into a rural location. By reason of their industrial appearance, scale, materials and siting, the containers fail to respond positively to local character and harm the character and appearance of the countryside and surrounding area. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies CS12 of the North Somerset Core Strategy and Policies DM10, DM32 and DM54 of the Sites and Policies Plan Part 1, and Policies E4 and DP3 of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
