Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)

What decided it

The location's proximity to transport noise sources (A14 and railway) makes it impractical and undesirable to convert the building to residential use, as future occupiers would be unable to open windows and would lack satisfactory living standards.
