Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the agricultural worker's accommodation is required in connection with the functional and operational needs of the business and whether the reuse of the building is suited to this purpose
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and whether the Isles of Scilly Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that there was a genuine functional and operational need for the accommodation and that the conversion caused no harm to the character, appearance, AONB or Conservation Area, resulting in compliance with the development plan as a whole.
