Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The development's effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the building itself, with particular regard to the site's location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the proximity of a statutorily listed building and any impact resulting from the retail sales use

What decided it

The building's form and design remain consistent with the approved permission and satisfactorily integrate into the rural setting, and the retail sales use is justified by NPPF support for sustainable rural business growth which outweighs the local plan restriction to settlements.
