Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area of retaining the development as carried out, specifically with regard to the doors and windows installed
What decided it
The plastic doors and windows installed are discernibly plastic rather than timber, creating a suburban character that substantially erodes the agricultural character of the barn conversion and significantly harms the character and appearance of the surrounding rural area, contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design respecting local character.
