Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal proposal is an appropriate form of development in this location, having regard to the development plan, and its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal represents a significant and harmful encroachment into the countryside that conflicts with Policy 22 of the Local Plan by extending the domestic curtilage far beyond what was approved in previous applications and creating a formal domesticated appearance incompatible with the rural character of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 22 of Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (2019)Policy 10 of Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy (2014)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
