Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The extent of works required, amounting to significant rebuilding rather than conversion, conflicts with Policy 23 of the Local Plan which restricts countryside residential development to conversion of structurally sound buildings capable of conversion without significant alteration or rebuilding.
