Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the property and the rural character of the surroundings

What decided it

The cumulative size and mass of the extensions would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host property and the rural character of the surroundings, conflicting with development plan policies requiring extensions to be modest and retain the original dwelling's identity.
