Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the original buildings and the landscape and scenic beauty of the North York Moors National Park
Whether the proposal in Appeal B is appropriately sized, with regard to the provisions of the development plan pertaining to the conversion of traditional buildings within the open countryside

What decided it

Appeal A succeeds because the development adheres to the development plan as a whole; Appeal B fails because the proposed extension would be a significant, dominant structure that unduly harms character and appearance and conflicts with Policy CO12 requiring conversions to be appropriately sized without significant extensions.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Strategic Policy CStrategic Policy MStrategic Policy APolicy CO12Policy CO13Policy CO17
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 182Paragraph 56
