Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The tennis court's location well away from the residential curtilage and its potential to set a dangerous precedent for further inappropriate countryside development outweighed any well-being benefits, whereas the swimming pool's siting within the residential curtilage with minimal visual impact and direct relationship to the host dwelling satisfied the policy requirements.
