Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location taking account of the spatial strategy of the development plan

What decided it

The contemporary design of the proposed dwelling would appear incongruous and discordant when squeezed between existing traditionally-styled dwellings, failing to maintain the area's prevailing character and conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy for rural settlements.
