Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would be a dominant and incongruent feature that harms the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, conflicting with development plan policies, and the limited benefits do not outweigh this harm.
The limited benefits provided by the proposal (additional living accommodation and minor short-term employment) were outweighed by the identified moderate visual harm to character and appearance when considered against development plan policies and the Framework.
