Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is an appropriate form of housing development in this open countryside location, with particular regard to whether the scheme amounts to re-use of the existing building or re-build

- Policy SP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 80
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
