Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal represents a necessary and appropriate form of development having regard to the effect on open countryside and the setting of the village of Twyford
- the effect on protected species with regard to bats
- disposal of foul drainage
What decided it
The proposal would represent an unjustified encroachment into the open countryside that would not constitute necessary and appropriate development under Policy SS2 of the development plan, and this conflict could not be outweighed by material considerations.
Framework references: 84, 193
