Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development is appropriate for a countryside location and compatible with the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would result in excessive encroachment and expansion of development away from original buildings into open countryside, causing material harm to character and appearance in breach of Policy CP11, which outweighs the modest economic benefits claimed.
