Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location, having regard to local and national policies concerning rural housing
  • The effect of the development on European Designated Sites

What decided it

The conversion would not be harmful to character and appearance, the site is in a suitable location for housing given the modest scale and existing use, and the European designated site concerns are adequately mitigated by the financial contribution already secured.
