Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would provide a suitable location for the proposal with regard to the Council's spatial strategy for development
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Kingsland Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed works to the barns would constitute major reconstruction rather than conversion without major reconstruction as required by Policy RA5, placing the development outside the exceptions to the spatial strategy for rural development.

Framework references: 80

Plan policies cited: Policy RA2, Policy RA3, Policy RA5, Policy SS6, Policy LD1, Policy LD4, Policy SS1, Policy KNDP2, Policy KNDP1, Policy KNDP4, Policy KNDP5
