Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the development strategy for the area
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with respect to the significance of the Collingbourne Kingston Conservation Area, the significance of the nearby Grade II Listed Buildings, through development within their setting, and the setting of the North Wessex Downs NL

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by locating built form in open countryside without agricultural justification, and the harm to heritage assets and landscape character is not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
