Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Paragraph Q.2(1)(e) with particular respect to siting and location with regard to noise, access and land use
What decided it
The farming use of the site has ceased and the farm's operational integrity is already established as compromised, meaning the conversion would not create an impractical or undesirable siting or location with regard to noise, access or land use.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
