Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location and need
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal failed to demonstrate that the tennis court was essential for sport and recreation provision in the countryside, and its siting would result in a harmful and intrusive incursion into the rural landscape, conflicting with development plan policies requiring countryside development to be well-integrated and sensitive to landscape character.
