Planning appeal 3332618 at Pumpfields Farm, Stubby Lane, Draycott in the Clay, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 5BU (East Staffordshire Borough Council) was allowed on 9 July 2024 by Inspector Hughes L, by written representations.

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 agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3, having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to the amount of private amenity space proposed; noise, disturbance and odour; vehicular access and car parking
the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposal for a single one-bedroom dwelling would not generate sufficient additional vehicular movements to cause demonstrable harm to highway safety, and the location and siting would not make conversion impractical or undesirable for future occupiers' living conditions.
