Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the schemes represent acceptable forms of development within the countryside having regard to the aims of the development strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposals should be subject to the sequential test with regard to flood risk
- Whether the proposals would represent an acceptable addition to the housing mix of the area
What decided it
Both proposals fail to meet Policy S4 of the East Riding Local Plan Update (2025) because the extent of structural works required to both barns constitutes significant rebuilding and alteration, which is not permitted for barn conversions in the countryside.
Framework references: 84
Plan policies cited: Policy S4, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV6, Policy H1
