Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the building amounts to a new, separate and self-contained dwelling
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the immediate setting of the appeal property and the Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Barns and Walls Conservation Area

What decided it

The building's physical characteristics (lack of cooking facilities and limited headroom) and the imposition of a condition restricting use to ancillary accommodation meant it would not function as an independent dwelling, thereby satisfying policy requirements and preserving the conservation area.
