Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the building is suitable for conversion to residential use, having regard to the extent of works required, its location and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The building is not suitable for conversion to residential use because it remains in active equestrian use (not redundant), the works required constitute substantial rebuilding, and the proposal with its associated driveway and domestic features would have a harmful domesticating effect on the rural landscape character.
