Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute an acceptable form of development with particular regard to local and national policy in respect of the location of development

What decided it
The proposed building's unnecessary isolation in open countryside beyond development limits, combined with its substantial scale and height making it visually dominant and significantly detrimental to the character of the surrounding countryside, rendered it unacceptable development contrary to the development plan and NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S3Policy D1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 174
