Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the Council's development strategy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the countryside
  • Whether occupiers of the dwelling would have satisfactory access to services and facilities

What decided it

The development constitutes substantial rebuilding rather than conversion of an existing building, falling outside the scope of Policy LE16 and the permitted development right, and conflicts with the development plan's strategy to restrict development outside identified settlements.
