Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether the proposal would lead to the coalescence of settlements
What decided it
The conversion of existing buildings on a site already containing built form and mature screening would not have a detrimental effect on character and appearance or lead to settlement coalescence, distinguishing it from new dwelling proposals in open countryside.
