Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the rural character and appearance of the countryside by introducing a disproportionately large and visually obtrusive building that would conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
The conflict with the development plan and the harm to rural character and appearance outweighed the private benefits to the appellant, resulting in dismissal.
