Why it was refused
- The topography of the site, coupled with the scale, siting and isolated location of the barn and associated hardstanding within this open and highly prominent landscape, would result in an incongruous and visually intrusive form of development that fails to assimilate into its surroundings. It would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside. As such, the proposal conflicts with the requirements of Local Plan Policies HP7 (criteria ii and iii), HP3 and NE4, the Council's Farm Buildings Design Guide and NPPF paragraph 135.
From the council's decision notice.
