Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would eliminate the contribution of the grass strip to the spaciousness and openness of the area, resulting in harmful intrusive and insensitive additions that conflict with development plan policy.

The benefits of improved accommodation for the occupiers were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of openness.
