Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon protected species
- whether the proposal would be an appropriate form of development having regard to its location, the extent of alteration required and its effect upon the immediate setting
- the effect of the proposal upon the significance of designated heritage assets
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The inability to rule out significant harm to protected species, placing the proposal in conflict with Framework Policy N2, substantially outweighed the benefits of the scheme under Framework Policy S5(2).
The benefits of farm diversification, a modest contribution to housing supply, economic benefits and a minor enhancement to the immediate setting were substantially outweighed by the harm arising from the inability to rule out significant harm to protected species, so the proposal did not amount to sustainable development.
