Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan, specifically Policy CP15 of the Stroud District Local Plan, because although it meets the policy's aims it does not fall within any of the listed principles for development outside settlement boundaries, and the material considerations do not weigh decisively in favour of the proposal.

- National Planning Policy Framework
