Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for the proposal having regard to the development strategy and local and national policy on accessibility by sustainable transport modes
  • whether the proposal would be acceptable with regard to the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to privacy, and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding rural area through its visual intrusion, which would endure for the lifetime of the development and outweighs the economic and housing benefits.
