Inspector: Marriott H

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed change of use of land to garden and the erection of a garage would be suitably located and the effect on the character and appearance of the countryside

What decided it

The proposed change of use of land to garden and erection of a garage would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside through the extension of domestic curtilage and construction of a suburban-style building in open countryside, with no significant benefits to the local area to justify this harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy AS.10, Policy CS.5, Policy CS.9
