Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is an acceptable form of development, with regard to its location
- Whether the living conditions for future residents are acceptable in terms of private amenity space
- Whether sufficient provision is in place for the protection of bats
What decided it
The proposal's location in a remote area with no sustainable travel options conflicts with Policy SWDP4 and does not represent sustainable development, which outweighs its compliance with Policy SWDP8 for live-work accommodation.

- Development plan policies
- Policy SWDP2Policy SWDP8Policy SWDP4Policy SWDP21Policy SWDP22
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 82Paragraph 79
