Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The proposal's modest scale, simple design, timber finish and semi-rural siting would be consistent with its countryside context and would not harm character and appearance, while the minimal traffic generation from a single-bedroom live/work unit would not raise highway safety concerns.
