What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan's sustainable development and countryside protection aims, with no special circumstances advanced to justify residential use in this rural location.

The harm to rural character and appearance of the countryside outweighed any neutral considerations regarding neighbour amenity, with no material considerations sufficient to override the conflict with the development plan.
