Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the site represents an appropriate location for new housing, having particular regard to the relevant provisions of the development plan
  • Whether or not appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the development, having particular regard to outlook
  • Whether or not the proposed development would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 'Finwood Hill Farmhouse', its setting, and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The building qualifies as redundant or disused under Policy H1, the conversion would enhance the immediate setting, and the limited external alterations would preserve the listed farmhouse and its setting.
