Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is in an appropriate location, with regard to relevant policies for the location of housing
What decided it
The building is disused and the conversion would enhance its immediate setting in accordance with NPPF Paragraph 80, which the Inspector attached very substantial weight to despite conflict with the development plan.
The conflict with the development plan was outweighed by very substantial weight attached to the Framework's support for re-use of disused buildings that enhance their immediate setting.

- Development plan policies
- Policy S22
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 79Paragraph 80
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
