Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on ecological interests including the 'Hodgemoor Wood' Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if so, its effect on openness

What decided it

The demonstrably adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the AONB landscape, combined with inadequate ecological assessment, outweighed the functional need for the agricultural worker's dwelling.
