Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal is in an appropriate location in relation to the spatial strategy for the area and access to services
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of Hopefield Cottage

What decided it

The proposed development would have an adverse effect on the rural character and appearance of the area, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF paragraph 130, which could not be outweighed by other material considerations.
