Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- Whether there are any material considerations which indicate a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The extant Class Q fallback permission providing the same quantum of housing, combined with the superior design quality and character compatibility of the proposed dwellings compared to the contemporary barn conversions, justified granting permission despite conflict with the development plan.
