Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the building was capable of conversion to residential use
- whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy, and the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location with regard to flood risk
What decided it
The building was not structurally capable of conversion to residential use as the extent of works carried out was substantial and beyond what can reasonably be regarded as conversion within Policy LP33, combined with the site's isolated location unsuitable for residential development and failure to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk.
