Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location with regards to planning policy
The effect on the housing mix of the area
The effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would create a new dwelling in the countryside contrary to Policy S4 because the outbuilding was not substantially complete and had not been brought into lawful use, and therefore did not constitute a conversion of a redundant or disused building.

The limited benefits of housing supply and reuse of previously developed land were outweighed by the conflicts with Policies S4 and H1 regarding location in the countryside and housing mix, and the lack of demonstrated sustainability.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S4Policy H1Policy ENV1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 55Paragraph 79
