Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether planning permission SL/2019/0515 remains extant and can be implemented
Whether the alleged development is suitably located with regards to access to key services

What decided it

The 2019 permission for conversion of the barn was found to be no longer extant because the original steel frame structure had been removed from the site, removing any fallback position for the residential use of the caravan.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1.1, Policy CS1.2, Policy DM1, Policy DM16

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
