Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area

What decided it

The proposal would cause substantial harm to the character and appearance of the converted barn and rural area through its excessive scale and massing, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF guidance on local character and heritage, with no material considerations outweighing this conflict.
