Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local policies relating to the location of new housing
  • The effect of the proposal upon the River Wye Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposed works would be so extensive as to constitute substantial alteration or rebuilding rather than genuine conversion, making the site an inappropriate location for new housing contrary to local policy.
