Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the replacement dwelling meets the development plan policy on such new housing and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether a measurable net gain in biodiversity has been demonstrated

What decided it

The replacement dwelling would not be significantly greater than the existing dwelling when lawful additions are taken into account, and would improve the character and appearance of the area, with biodiversity net gain achievable through conditions.

The benefits of replacing an incongruous jumble of single-storey equestrian structures with a more traditional rural dwelling design, and the achievability of biodiversity net gain through conditions, were not outweighed by any other considerations.
