Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the cottage and the area

What decided it

The extension would be disproportionately large relative to the modest cottage, appearing as a wholly out-of-character addition that would harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and the rural area, conflicting with Policy DM10.
