Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the appellant, in relation to their private personal circumstances and the need for agricultural storage, office, reception area, cake and jam making studio
What decided it
The substantial scale of the building, its domestic appearance, and the mixed-use nature of the proposal (particularly office, reception and cake/jam making uses) could not be justified as necessary in this countryside location and would cause significant harm to character and appearance that outweighed the appellants' personal circumstances.
