Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, with particular regard to its location within the New Forest National Park

What decided it

The appeal building's siting, form, massing and materials result in it being largely obscured from public view and appearing as a traditional, subservient outbuilding that does not harm the character and appearance of the host property or the scenic beauty of the National Park.
