Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the character and appearance of the appeal building and its setting, with particular regard to design, form, scale and siting
whether or not acceptable living conditions can be secured for occupants of the 2 neighbouring dwellings and the appeal property
highway safety, with particular regard to parking and turning provision

What decided it

The proposed extensions would constitute poor design that significantly undermines the traditional rustic character of the appeal building and would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
