Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuildings constitute part of the listed building Bridge Farmhouse and therefore whether their demolition without listed building consent contravened section 7 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990
What decided it
The physical separation and boundary treatments (track, hedge, and stone walls) between the Farmhouse and the outbuildings, combined with the distinct agricultural use of the outbuildings separate from the residential use of the Farmhouse, meant the outbuildings were not within the curtilage of the listed building.
