Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would accord with the spatial strategy for the provision of housing in rural areas, regarding whether the building to be reused is of permanent and substantial construction capable of conversion without major reconstruction and the location of the site
What decided it
The building is not of permanent and substantial construction capable of conversion without major reconstruction, and the location would result in high reliance on private vehicle use, together significantly outweighing the modest housing supply benefits under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, comprising conflict with rural building conversion policies and significant reliance on private vehicle use, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of a small contribution to housing supply and minor economic and social impacts.
