Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it is necessary to include the adjoining farmyard within the red line site area
What decided it
The proposed building's size, siting and orientation would harm the character and appearance of the area, contrary to the development plan, and this harm could not be outweighed by design quality, demolition of existing structures, or economic benefits to the adjoining agricultural business.
The modest economic benefit to the rural agricultural business was outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area.
