Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q(b) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, having particular regard to whether the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building
If the proposal would be permitted development, whether it would be acceptable in terms of design and external appearance and whether it would provide adequate natural light in all habitable rooms

What decided it

The scale, extent and nature of building works required to convert the existing agricultural building had not been clearly and adequately specified, and the evidence did not demonstrate that the building was already suitable for conversion or that the operations would not exceed what is reasonably necessary under Class Q(b) of the GPDO.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
