Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would avoid or mitigate any adverse effect on protected species and habitats, with particular regard to any effect on sites designated for their nature conservation importance

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan by introducing harmful built development and domestic paraphernalia beyond the existing garden into undeveloped countryside at the settlement edge, and the ecological evidence did not adequately demonstrate that effects on adjacent designated nature conservation sites could be avoided or mitigated.
