Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is in a suitable location for the development having regard to local and national policies
- the effect of the proposed development upon character and appearance
- the effects on the integrity of Habitats sites
What decided it
The building's established physical and visual connection with the village, combined with the absence of external changes and the secured mitigation for Habitats sites, meant the proposal would not significantly undermine the spatial strategy or harm designated sites.
The limited conflict with Policy DM2 was outweighed by compliance with other development plan policies and the Framework, and the positive contribution to housing supply.
