Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it has been demonstrated that the conversion of the appeal property to an alternative use other than market housing would not be economically viable
What decided it
The appeal site is in an isolated rural location outside the settlement boundary with poor accessibility to services and facilities, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that conversion to alternative uses would be uneconomical, contrary to policy DM2.
