Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the future occupiers would have reasonable access to local shops and services by means other than the private car
  • the future occupiers' living conditions, regarding noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside and AONB, fail to provide sustainable access to services, and expose future occupiers to unacceptable noise and disturbance from adjacent stables, with no acceptable conditions to mitigate these harms.
