Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, having regard to local and national planning policy, because of its location in the countryside, the proposal would be a sustainable form of development

What decided it

The building already has a residential use as ancillary accommodation, so the change to a separate dwelling would not materially increase trips or harm sustainability, making it acceptable despite the countryside location.
