Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, with particular regard to Paragraph Q(a) whether the appeal site is an agricultural building and Q(b) building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building
The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including upon the special interest of nearby heritage assets, namely Grade II listed Glebe House

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building through the domestication of the setting and introduction of incongruous modern features outweighed the limited public benefits of creating one new dwelling.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building through detraction from its rural setting outweighed the limited public benefits of creating one new home and securing a viable use for the building.
