Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area

What decided it

The presence of a similar lean-to extension on the adjoining property, combined with the proposed extension's matching materials, subservient scale, and single storey lean-to design, would ensure the striking 2-storey barn form remained distinct and the agricultural character was maintained.
