Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it would be undesirable to change the use of the building to dwellinghouses, having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers
- Whether the design or external appearance of the building would be acceptable
What decided it
The removal of existing extensions and outbuildings combined with the building's location in a hollow with dense mature trees and hedging would enhance the character and appearance of the area, and there was no substantive evidence of unacceptable living conditions from noise disturbance.
