Plans to create a haulage yard and open storage space on land in Fradley has been rejected.
The application would also have seen the construction of a replacement commercial building on the agricultural plot on Vicars Coppice Farm off Wood End Lane.
But planning officials at Lichfield District Council refused permission for the project.
A decision notice said:
“The addition of the quantum of storage proposed at the application site along with its cumulative visual impact to the rural setting would introduce an urban character to the location and would be inappropriate to the rural setting, constituting an unwarranted intrusion into the countryside to the detriment of the character and appearance of this rural locality.”

We’re protecting the agricultural nature of a parcel of land next to an A road next to a paintball facility and across the road from a business park.
Have they been to Fradley? Agricultural is not what springs to mind of a place totally dominated by cathedral sized warehouses.
They have forgotten it was an OTU and very busy not all agriculture
Leave fradley alone. You’ve screwed it enough.
