Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would include adequate provision for surface water drainage
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to character and appearance caused by the modern design and additional built form in a prominent rural location within an Area of Great Landscape Value, combined with inadequate drainage information, outweighed any limited benefits.
