Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the local area
  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposal having particular regard to relevant local and national planning policies

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with both Policy D1 (design quality) and Policy SS2 (countryside development restriction) and the identified harms are not outweighed by the environmental and flood resilience benefits.
