Planning appeal 3369735 at Manor Farm, Westbury Road, North Bradley, Wiltshire, BA14 0TW (Wiltshire Council) was allowed on 30 October 2025 by Inspector Pickernell E, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the location and siting of the building make it impractical or undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse, in terms of its effect on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwellinghouse, with particular regard to noise and disturbance.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location and siting of the building make it impractical or undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse, in terms of its effect on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwellinghouse, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The separation distances between the appeal building and neighbouring farm buildings, combined with planning conditions limiting hours of use and the intermittent nature of equestrian activities, meant that noise and disturbance would not reach levels that would make the conversion undesirable for future occupiers' living conditions.
