Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dormer window and single storey glazed extension on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding rural area
- The effect of the proposed garden area on the character and openness of the countryside, in respect of its size and location
What decided it
The proposed dormer and glazed extension would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding rural area, and the extended garden curtilage would result in unacceptable encroachment into open countryside and loss of openness, contrary to Policies H/17, S/7 and HQ/1 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan.
