Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on protected species

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding rural area, and the absence of protected species surveys meant the extent of potential harm to bats and nesting birds could not be determined.
