Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building and the local area

What decided it

The small scale and subsidiary nature of the extension, combined with its reflection of existing design elements and preservation of the building's simple agricultural form and legibility, meant the proposal would not harm character and appearance despite the SPD's general guidance against such extensions.
