Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the building would make the proposed change of use impractical or undesirable, with particular regard to the living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The close proximity of the building to the agricultural yard and buildings, combined with the inability to control future agricultural operations on land outside the building's curtilage, makes the location undesirable for residential use due to potential disturbance and hazardous access arrangements.
