Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an acceptable location for a new dwelling having regard to relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The building's material departure from the 2017 approved scheme in terms of size, domestic design, windows and conservatory, combined with its prominent position in a rural hamlet, causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance that cannot be adequately mitigated.
Framework references: 130
