Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site would be suitably located for the development proposed with adequate access to facilities and services having regard to local and national planning policies
whether the accommodation would secure adequate living conditions for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on two independent grounds: unsustainable location outside settlement boundaries with poor accessibility to services and facilities, and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers.

The benefit of providing a unit of residential accommodation does not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
