Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the scale, landscape and visual effect of the scheme
  • The living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to privacy and disturbance
  • Flood risk and surface water drainage

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the open countryside and wider landscape, caused by the scale and visual obtrusiveness of the development, outweighed the significant benefits of the scheme.

The significant benefits of the scheme (economic, environmental and social) were outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, resulting in a finely balanced decision that tipped against the proposal.
