- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the listed farmhouse and the setting of the adjacent listed barn, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
