Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant policies relating to the countryside
- The proposal's effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's extension of residential curtilage and construction of an enlarged annex outside the housing development boundary in open countryside would breach countryside policies and would create a building of excessive size, bulk and height that would harm the rural character of the modest barn setting.
Plan policies cited: Policy CP1, Policy CP4, Policy DP1, Policy DP4, Policy DP7
