Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Thornhaugh Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings Croft Farmhouse and Avebury Cottage
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policy
What decided it
The proposal would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased noise and disturbance from holiday let guests using the garden space, particularly in the evening.
