Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding rural area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would result in a 160% increase in floor area and would harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding rural area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring countryside development to be strictly controlled and in scale with local context.
Plan policies cited: CS5, CS6, MD2
