Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for it to change from an agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouse) of the Use Classes Order, having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers

What decided it

The location and siting of the building would not make it impractical or undesirable for conversion to residential use, as the retained agricultural element would be limited in scale and pose no particular concern for future occupiers' living conditions.
