Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the site is a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to the development plan
- whether the proposal demonstrates suitable carbon reduction benefits
- the effect of the development on local housing stock
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effect on character and appearance, combined with its location outside the settlement boundary contrary to the development plan and failure to demonstrate carbon reduction benefits over the fallback conversion option, outweighed any material considerations.
