Inspector: Pipkin R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the existing building is capable of conversion to residential use without major rebuilding
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
whether or not future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would have reasonable access to local services
whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with regard to noise, smell and nuisance
the effect of the proposed development on a protected habitats site

What decided it

The combination of moderate harm to rural character and appearance, lack of reasonable access to local services, and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions due to proximity to agricultural uses meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
