Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed aluminium frame, even if painted brown, would be an intrusively urban material that would contrast poorly with the traditional brick-built barn and harm the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area in breach of development plan policies.
