Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The proposed development would result in significant visual intrusion and erosion of countryside character within the AONB, which could not be justified by the functional agricultural need or economic arguments advanced.
The functional need for agricultural buildings and economic benefits to the farm were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, to which great weight must be given under the Framework.
Framework references: 174, 176
