Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The extant prior approval consent for conversion of the existing building to a dwelling represented a genuine fallback position that, combined with the proposed scheme's superior design and character benefits over the fallback, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the conflict with the development plan.
