Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed barn on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its siting in open countryside
- The effect of the proposed barn on the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings at Penniment Lodge Farm and nearby non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and to the setting of designated heritage assets, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
The limited public benefit of diverting attention from a pole-mounted transformer was outweighed by the great weight to be afforded to preserving the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings and the harm to the character and appearance of the countryside.
