Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for a new dwelling having regard to its location in a rural area
What decided it
The site's location within an existing cluster of farm buildings being converted to residential use, combined with its accessibility to services and facilities and the visual improvement the conversion would bring, made it suitable infill development in accordance with the development plan despite its rural location.
