Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on ecology on the appeal site and within the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on groundwater pollution

What decided it

The proposed barn's agricultural appearance and careful siting in close proximity to existing buildings, combined with screening by trees, ensures it would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area or the setting of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and the minimal loss of roadside nature reserve habitat would not harm ecological value.

Framework references: 135, 187, 196
