Upper Fenemere Farm, Myddle Wood, Myddle, SHREWSBURY, SY4 3RY

the conversion of an agricultural building to a dwelling

Authority: Shropshire County Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Hall R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether it has been demonstrated that the building operations proposed would amount to installation or replacement of elements of the buildings beyond that which is reasonably necessary for the building to function as a house, and consequently whether the limitation in paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO is met
Whether the proposal would be acceptable with respect to design and external appearance, and therefore whether condition Q.2.(1)(f) has been met

What decided it

The structural appraisal confirmed the existing steel frame was sound and would be retained, and the proposed works were reasonably necessary for conversion to residential use without amounting to rebuilding, thereby satisfying the Class Q limitations and conditions.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
