Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and area

What decided it

The single-storey height, flat roof design and L-shaped footprint of the proposed outbuilding would ensure it appeared subservient to the host property and would not materially harm the character and appearance of the area.

- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
