Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be suitable for residential development, having regard to its location and whether or not it would constitute suitable conversion in accordance with the development plan

What decided it

The building would require such substantial rebuilding operations that it does not constitute a suitable conversion of a suitably constructed building appropriate to retain under Policy 7 of the Cornwall Local Plan, and the site's unsustainable location in open countryside away from services and facilities makes it unsuitable for residential development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 1Policy 7Policy 21
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 80Paragraph 60

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
