Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed dwelling would be located in a suitable location with respect to local and national policies
What decided it
The fall-back position of the extant consent for barn conversion and roof extension establishes the principle of residential suitability and outweighs the locational conflict with policy SWDP2.
the modest conflict with spatial housing policy SWDP2 was outweighed by the fall-back position, the absence of harm to character and appearance, the lack of five-year housing land supply, and the small positive contribution to housing supply
