Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would have an overbearing effect on neighbouring occupants of the Solomon's Temple and Field View dwellings
What decided it
The combination of the proposed barn's substantial size, agricultural character, and close proximity to Solomon's Temple's residential boundary would result in an overbearing and intrusive impact on neighbouring occupants, conflicting with development plan policies protecting neighbour amenity.
The provision of additional storage space for the farming business would not outweigh the significant harm to neighbouring amenity identified.

- Policy DM 2.7Policy DM 3.13
