Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposal upon the open countryside and Area of Attractive Landscape
The significance of the non-designated heritage asset and potential medieval activity of archaeological interest

What decided it

The cumulative impact of the proposals, particularly the tennis court, would fail to preserve the intrinsic character and beauty of the Area of Attractive Landscape and would harm the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, compounded by the absence of archaeological evaluation to assess potential medieval remains that could be affected by the swimming pool excavation.
