Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site lies within a building that directly abuts or fixes on to a listed building
  • whether the proposed change of use to a dwellinghouse would benefit from adequate natural light in all habitable rooms

What decided it

The appeal building does not form part of the listed building or its curtilage, and the proposed bedroom would receive adequate natural light as demonstrated by daylight analysis.
