Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition 2 is necessary in its current form, having regard to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Easton Conservation Area

What decided it

The enclosure of the garage would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Easton Conservation Area, and the private security benefits do not outweigh this identified harm.

Framework references: 140, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1, Policy GD8, Policy DBE1

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
