Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the site represents a suitable location for housing, having regard to its accessibility to services and facilities, whether the buildings are capable of conversion having regard to their function and alterations required and development plan policy on development in the countryside
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its urbanising effect, the buildings were not capable of genuine conversion but rather required almost complete rebuilding, and no marketing exercise had been undertaken to explore the required employment use alternative.
Plan policies cited: Policy S/7, Policy H/17, Policy HQ/1, Policy S/2, Policy S/3, Policy E/14
