Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development consists of a change of use of a building that is part of an established agricultural unit, or a former agricultural building that was (but is no longer) part of an established agricultural unit
whether the building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
whether the proposal would comply with the NDSS
the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The evidence fails to demonstrate that the building is part of an established agricultural unit or a former agricultural building that was part of such a unit, as required by paragraph Q.(a) of Class Q of the GPDO.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
