Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
  • Whether it would conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)

What decided it

The generously-sized plot would minimise the visual impact of the substantial extensions and prevent them from appearing overly-dominant, allowing the development to conserve the natural beauty of the Cotswolds AONB and respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling.
