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
Framework references: 80
Plan policies cited: DS4
