Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical for it to change to a dwellinghouse with particular regard to odour from the nearby poultry business affecting the living conditions of the future occupants and the proposed residential use prejudicing the business's future operation
- whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical for it to change to a dwellinghouse with particular regard to odour from the nearby Barn 2 affecting the living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The nearby Barn 2 retains planning permission for agricultural use and is not prevented from future livestock operations by the proposal, meaning odour from its use would adversely affect the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed dwelling in breach of Class Q requirements.
