Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through its intrusive siting, bulk and height relative to the countryside-influenced character of the location, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.
