Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the building is suitable for conversion, having regard to local and national planning policy
- whether the site represents an acceptable location for the proposed development, having regard to access to local services, facilities and public transport as well as relevant local and national planning policy
What decided it
The building's suitability for conversion under Policy DM34, combined with the absence of harm to character and appearance and the acceptability of the location within an established residential cluster, justified allowing the appeal despite the rural location and lack of sustainable transport.
