Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed outside amenity space would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of Fairview Barn
What decided it
The proposed amenity space is not readily visible from public vantage points due to the site's elevated position and screening, and with appropriate landscaping conditions would not cause undue harm to rural character while providing satisfactory living conditions.
The benefits of providing adequate outdoor amenity space for the established residential use outweighed the limited visual impact on rural character, which could be further mitigated through landscaping conditions.
