Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and surrounding area, having regard to its location in the countryside

What decided it

The substantial adverse effect on character and appearance caused by the disproportionate bulk and mass of the extension, which would not integrate with or enhance the rural setting, substantially outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal when assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.

The benefits of the proposal (temporary construction employment and private additional living space) were substantially outweighed by the substantial adverse effect on character and appearance when assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.
