Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development comprises sustainable development in accordance with national and local planning policy, having particular regard to the reuse of existing buildings
- Whether or not the principle of new open market housing is acceptable in this location
What decided it
The site's location in open countryside outside a defined Cluster community meant the reuse of the building for residential purposes and open market housing conflicted with the development plan's spatial strategy.
the appellant's personal circumstances and desire to remain in Borrowdale did not outweigh the harm identified from conflict with the development plan and uncertainty over nutrient neutrality effects
