Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host property and the area surrounding the New Laund Farm complex

What decided it

The proposed flat roof would be significantly out of character with the hipped roofs that prevail across the host property and surrounding buildings, and the extension would appear as an incongruous feature when viewed from the public footpath, conflicting with Policies DM09, DM16 and DM24 and the Council's design guidance.
