Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed garage's forward position and increased massing would make it prominent and incongruous in the rural landscape, failing to appear subservient to the dwelling and causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance that outweighed the benefits of improved highway safety.
