Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
What decided it
The location and siting of the building makes it undesirable for conversion to residential use due to overlooking impacts on neighbouring properties, inadequate amenity space for future occupiers, and the prominent visual impact of the large car park on the rural character of the area.
