Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be an isolated new home in the countryside, and if so, whether there is an essential need for a third dwelling associated with the farm
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate an essential need for a third dwelling that could not be met by an existing dwelling or converted farm building, and the proposal would also harm the character and appearance of the countryside.
the benefits identified, including the appellants' industry recognition, did not outweigh the harm identified in respect of the lack of essential need and the effect on countryside character and appearance
