Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the suitability of the building for use as a holiday let in line with local policy
  • the effect of the extension on the character of the existing building

What decided it

The building is a new build garage lacking traditional or vernacular merit, and therefore cannot lawfully be converted to holiday let use under Policy RT2, and the porch extension detracts from its character contrary to design guidance and development management policies.
