Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the outbuilding is capable of conversion without demolition and rebuilding
- the effect of the proposal upon the housing mix of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, including the landscape and special qualities of the North York Moors National Park
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate that the outbuilding is capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding, and would materially increase habitable floorspace beyond the 30% policy threshold, thereby conflicting with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP Policy CO12LP Policy CO17LP Strategic Policy C
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 176
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.
