Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Cotswold District Local Plan 2018, the Framework and accessibility

What decided it

The proposal's location outside any defined settlement with poor accessibility and reliance on private car travel conflicts with development plan policies and the Framework, and the fallback position of the approved conversion scheme is less harmful and provides no clear benefits to justify the appeal scheme.

The harm identified in respect of unsuitable location and conflict with development plan policies outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and other factors including the fallback position

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: DS4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 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.
