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.
