Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's substantial increase in scale, mass and formality of design would create a visually jarring intrusion within the countryside setting that would significantly harm the area's predominantly verdant, open and spacious rural character, contrary to the development plan.
