Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the form of development is appropriate having regard to the site's location outside of a defined settlement
the effect on the setting and significance of the Grade II listed farmhouse and former barn at Slaters Farm
the effect on the character and appearance of properties in the immediate vicinity of the site and on the wider rural character of the open countryside location

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the definition of infill development in policy and would constitute inappropriate back-land development in the open countryside, compounded by less than substantial harm to listed building settings and harm to rural character that cannot be justified by public benefits.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: SADM Policy EN1CLCS Policy 1CLCS Policy 16LADM Policy EN8CLCS Policy 17LADM Policy EN9
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
