- The effect of the first-floor side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area as well as the need to conserve the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
What decided it
The scale and bulk of the proposed first-floor extension would cause harm to the character and appearance of the existing barn conversion and fail to conserve the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the harm to character and appearance and failure to conserve the AONB was determinative.
