Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locality having particular regard to the site's location in the Rural Area, within the Chilterns National Landscape and within the setting of heritage assets
What decided it
The car port's prominent position at the front of the property in a sensitive fringe location between the village and undeveloped wooded areas, combined with its harmful effect on the setting of listed buildings and conservation area, outweighed any public benefits, whereas the garden room's discrete siting and small scale rendered it acceptable.
