The existing building is not of sufficient architectural, historic or social interest as to allow for the principle of conversion pursuant to the provisions of Strategic Policy 2, Spatial Policy 5, General Policy 3, Housing Policies 4,11 and Environment Policy 16. Moreover, the proposed alterations and extension would not retain the current simple form and appearance. As a consequence, there would be a material adverse effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, contrary to GP2. 2. The proposed conversion of the existing rural building to a tourist use is not of a nature which would not be supported in the countryside to the provisions set out under Business Policy 11, 12, and 14 which set out the exceptional forms of development which could be allowed. 3. It has not been demonstrated that there is an overriding national need for the proposal and a site for which there are no reasonable and acceptable alternatives. Therefore the proposed development would result in an inappropriate development in the countryside contrary to Environment Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan.
