Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the rural area
- if there is any harm, whether this is outweighed by any other considerations, with particular regard to whether there is a fallback position for an alternative development
What decided it
The appeal scheme would have a more harmful impact on character and appearance than the Class Q fallback position, and the modest benefits would not outweigh this harm.
