Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the revised design upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The increase in overall building height above ground level would create an unacceptably dominant and discordant feature incompatible with the countryside setting, conflicting with development plan policies requiring replacement dwellings to respect landscape character and not exceed the impact of the existing dwelling.
Plan policies cited: Policy DES1, Policy DES2, Policy H18
