Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and whether it would conserve or enhance the scenic and natural beauty of the Cotswold National Landscape Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
  • Whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to the Cotswold District Local Plan 2018 and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the scenic beauty of the AONB, which paragraph 182 of the Framework requires to be given great weight, outweighed the modest benefits of the single dwelling conversion.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, reuse of an under-utilised building, renewable energy and biodiversity enhancement were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the scenic beauty of the AONB, to which great weight must be given under paragraph 182 of the Framework
