While there was some support from residents for the bigger car park, Chadlington Parish Council said it was "concerned" that the development would have had a "harmful impact on the environment and the local area" and asked for it to be refused. WODC said in its decision notice published on Friday that the location, size and design of the plan would not have been "compatible or consistent in scale with the existing farming business or its open countryside location".
It said it would also have had a "harmful impact on the rural character, scenic beauty and tranquillity of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".Its tourism and business support manager, Sally Graff, said the improved car park would have "enabled the safe flow of vehicles on and off the main highway" and "help to prevent" parking problems.
"The overall farm shop complex brings benefits of trade to the wider visitor economy and fits within the Cotswolds destination management plan's aims and objectives," she said.
