Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the two storey extension and other alterations to the building on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location within the Milton Combe Conservation Area and the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- the effect of the works to widen the vehicular entrances on the character and appearance of the area, including the Milton Combe Conservation Area
What decided it
The two-storey extension would cause moderate harm to the Conservation Area and AONB that would not be outweighed by minor public benefits, whereas the access widening works would preserve character and appearance with neutral effect and provide practical benefits.
