Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed extensions, through careful design with appropriate set-back, reduced width, and matching materials, would enhance rather than harm the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and Conservation Area, and would not harm the landscape and scenic beauty or tranquillity of the New Forest National Park.
