Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed building would not be subordinate in scale to the host dwelling and would be incompatible with the scale of ancillary outbuildings in the surrounding area, making it an overly prominent and incongruous intervention that harms character and appearance.
