Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the existing building is of permanent / substantial construction, suitable for conversion
  • Whether suitable internal living conditions would be created

What decided it

The absence of clear information demonstrating that the proposed conversion would achieve acceptable internal living conditions, particularly regarding internal height and gross internal floor area, meant the proposal failed to accord with Policy 10 and national design guidance.
