Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension and outbuilding on the character and appearance of the host building and of the surrounding area
What decided it
The substantial scale and proportions of both the proposed extension and workshop building would materially harm the character and appearance of the converted barn and surrounding rural area, conflicting with development plan policies that require extensions to be subordinate and conversions to avoid extensive extensions.
Plan policies cited: Policy H28, Policy H27, Policy BNE5
