Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A ground (b): whether the alleged breach of planning control (construction of a new dwelling) had occurred
- Appeal B: (a) whether the proposal would be in a suitable location, having regard to the proposed use; and (b) the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
Appeal A: the building lacked the facilities required for day-to-day private domestic existence, meaning the alleged breach of constructing a dwellinghouse had not occurred. Appeal B: the proposal would conflict with development plan policies on countryside control and landscape character, with no material considerations indicating otherwise.
