Low Farm Post Office Lane, Norley, FRODSHAM, WA6 8JH

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Whether the proposal would result in building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwellinghouse in respect to Class Q.1(i)
• Whether the location and siting of the building make it impractical or undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse, in terms of the appropriate provision for the living conditions of future neighbouring occupants and future occupants with particular regard to privacy, parking, outlook, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The location and siting of the barn in close proximity to active agricultural operations, particularly a slurry tower and cattle shed, would result in an unreasonable level of noise and disturbance for future occupants, making the conversion impractical and undesirable under Class Q.2(1)(e) of the GPDO.
