Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents a suitable location for housing, having regard to its accessibility to services and facilities and development plan policy on development in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the loss of the existing building and whether or not this should be treated as a non-designated heritage asset
- whether there are material considerations to outweigh any harm or policy conflict identified in respect of the above issues, sufficient to indicate a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with development plan policies protecting the countryside and non-designated heritage assets, and material considerations including a theoretical fallback position do not justify a decision contrary to the development plan.
