Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The extension's modest scale relative to the existing bungalow, its screened location within the wider farm complex, and the secluded nature of the site meant it would not harm the character and appearance of the building or landscape.
