What decided it
The appeal building's ancillary status, combined with its limited visual prominence due to screening and low profile, and the absence of significant harm to neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
The visual change resulting from the outbuilding was outweighed by its ancillary character, effective screening, and the absence of significant harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
