Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would be adequately spaced from neighbours, constructed on an area already containing domestic paraphernalia, and visually contained within existing ribbon development without encroaching on open agricultural fields, such that it would not cause significant harm to the rural character and appearance of the area.
