Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, with due regard to the location of the site in a Landscape Protection Zone
the effect on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties
whether the proposed development is suitable having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The modest scale and subordinate appearance of the outbuilding, combined with the spacious plot and considerable distance to neighbours, meant the proposals would not harm character, appearance, or living conditions, and the location of new floorspace in Flood Zone 1 satisfied flood risk requirements.
