Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal, having regard to the extent of works proposed and the effect upon the character and appearance of the area, be a suitable reuse of a building in the countryside
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining users, specifically by reason of outlook and access proposed
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal falls outside Policy H/17 as it amounts to substantially new building rather than conversion of the existing structure, combined with inadequate biodiversity survey information.
