Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of The Broch with regard to privacy
- biodiversity
- the setting of the nearby listed building
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan through harm to character and appearance, unacceptable privacy impacts on neighbours, and insufficient evidence of biodiversity conservation, and material considerations do not indicate a decision should be made otherwise.

- Development plan policies
