Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), specifically whether the required building operations are to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the conversion of the building and the effect of the design and external appearance on the character and appearance of the surrounding rural area, including its effect on the setting of a Grade II listed building

What decided it

The structural integrity of the existing building was sound and capable of conversion without new structural elements, and the proposed design and external appearance would not harm the character of the surrounding rural area or the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building.
