Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, having particular regard to noise and privacy
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's significantly larger footprint and height of up to 7.5 metres would represent an excessively sized urbanising addition to the open countryside site that would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, outweighing the modest benefits of the scheme.
