Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupants of the proposed development would have reasonable access to shops and services
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would retain acceptable living conditions with regard to the occupiers of Tarn House
- The effect of the proposal on the grade II listed Grange Hotel, Boarded Barn Farmhouse and the Barn 25 Metres North of Boarded Barn Farmhouse
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species and designated habitat sites and whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional need for open space arising from the development
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the proposed dwelling's dominant and incongruous appearance, combined with failure to accord with strategic policies on countryside development and unresolved ecological and open space requirements, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and potential self-build status.
