Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the local development strategy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the settlement gap

What decided it

The proposal would physically and visually diminish the settlement gap through its two-storey form and urbanising effect, causing greater harm than the fallback position of converting an existing agricultural building, and this harm is not outweighed by the claimed benefits.
