Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to 5 dwellinghouses, and what the effect of the design or external appearance of the building would be having regard to the significance of the Grade II* listed building, Burton Pynsent House, and the Grade II listed Burton Pynsent Registered Park and Garden
What decided it
The combination of physical alterations to the building, removal of nearby incongruous agricultural structures, and the change to residential use would result in a small reduction in harm to the designated heritage assets, making the location and siting not undesirable under Class Q.2(1)(e) and (f) of the Order.
