Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if any harm is identified, whether this harm would be outweighed by the presence of a fallback position for an alternative proposed development
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside through its substantial scale, mass and overly domesticated appearance, which would be significantly more harmful than the fallback position of converting the existing agricultural building.
