Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the proposal would accord with the relevant development plan policies concerning development in the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents in terms of the provision of internal living space
What decided it
The failure to meet the nationally described space standard for internal living space, combined with non-compliance with countryside development policy regarding non-redundant buildings, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing a new dwelling.
