Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location for residential development, in the context of the development plan and national policy

What decided it

The proposal would not result in a new dwelling in the countryside because the converted garage and mill building would form a single planning unit, and a condition could prevent the creation of a separate dwelling by restricting the mill building to ancillary use only.
