Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location with regard to local and national policy and accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The appeal site's location outside a defined settlement in the countryside, combined with poor accessibility to services and facilities and the building's unsuitability for conversion under Policy SP5, means the development would promote unsustainable patterns of development contrary to the development plan.
