Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed development complies with the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed development fails to accord with Policy 22 of the Local Plan because the scale of enlargement from a low-level stable block to a two-storey five-bedroom dwelling goes beyond reasonable adaptation, and it would harm the character and appearance of the open countryside.
