Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed alterations to the development would be acceptable having regard to the nature of the accommodation proposed and the location of the site within the countryside
What decided it
The original permission already permitted use of the southern section as part of the dwelling, and the proposed reconfiguration would not inevitably create a separate planning unit, with enforcement action available if a material change of use occurred.
Plan policies cited: Policy RLP2 of the Local Plan Review 2005, Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy 2011
