Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed properties Lodge Farm, Coppings Corner, The Limes, Mill House and Menes Farmhouse
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of Lodge Farm, weighted heavily against the limited public benefits of the proposal, combined with the site's unsuitability as a location outside the settlement boundary where it would consolidate sporadic development contrary to the development plan.
