What decided it
Policy Q18 of the Queniborough Neighbourhood Plan, which takes precedence over conflicting saved policies in the Borough of Charnwood Local Plan 2004, supports the re-use and adaptation of rural buildings for business use without requiring location within or adjacent to settlements, and the proposed development accords with this policy and does not cause material harm to rural character and appearance.
