Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal agricultural building satisfies the criteria for residential conversion under Local Plan policies H28 and BNE5
- Whether there is an essential agricultural need for residential accommodation on the site under Local Plan policy H25
- Whether the development complies with the requirement to avoid isolated homes in the countryside under NPPF paragraph 80
What decided it
The agricultural building is a recently constructed structure unsuitable for conversion under Local Plan policy H28, there is no essential agricultural need for residential occupation, and the development would constitute an isolated dwelling in the countryside contrary to NPPF paragraph 80.
Framework references: 80
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy H25, Policy H28, Policy BNE5, Policy SDT1
