Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comprise an appropriate re-use of a building in the countryside having regard to the development plan
- Whether the appeal proposal would provide accessible accommodation
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular reference to visibility at the entrance/driveway onto Metton Road
What decided it
The proposal would generate additional traffic movements at a point of access with severely substandard visibility and would provide accommodation inaccessible to disabled persons, resulting in significant social and safety harms that outweighed the economic benefits and meant the proposal would not accord with the development plan when taken as a whole.
