Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be well related to the pattern of settlement and its landscape context
The effect on heritage assets
The influence on neighbouring living conditions

What decided it

The proposal would fundamentally conflict with the development plan's settlement strategy by eroding the distinction between the settlement and embracing rural landscape, and would have an adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions.

The neutral effect on heritage assets was outweighed by fundamental inconsistency with the plan-led strategy regarding settlement pattern and landscape context, and adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.
