Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding countryside
  • whether the proposal would comply with the relevant local and national policies for residential & tourism-related development in the open countryside

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate through specialist heritage assessment and structural survey that the proposed development would preserve the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, combined with the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the AONB through excessive glazing and an oversized, domestically-styled outbuilding.
