Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to the location and siting of the building and whether this makes it impractical or undesirable for the proposed change from an agricultural use to that for residential purposes as a result of any effects on the setting of the listed building

What decided it

The Inspector was not convinced by the Council's argument that the visual impact of the former barn's residential use would significantly alter or be harmful to the Church's historic setting and significance, finding that the spatial relationship would be maintained and any impact would be neutral at worst.
