Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would constitute a conversion of the existing building
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The retention of approximately 70% of the building's external fabric including the distinctive arched roof, combined with the removal of the visually prominent grain store and the limited public visibility of the site, meant the conversion would preserve the character of the agricultural complex and accord with development plan policies.
