Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the principle of the proposed development is acceptable, having particular regard to the location of the appeal site and the suitability of the appeal property for conversion
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's failure to submit a sequential assessment as required by Policy TC3 and its non-compliance with the minimum floor area requirement in Policy SC6, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance, meant the benefits could not outweigh the significant planning harm and development plan conflicts.
