Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposed development on protected species

What decided it

The proposal's incongruous design, particularly the mono-pitched roof form combined with irregular fenestration and modern materials, would be significantly harmful to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan.
