Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the heritage asset at 1 Keepers Cottage
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, combined with material harm to the setting of a listed building and harm to the conservation area and AONB landscape character.
