Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to dwellinghouses in respect of the effect on the setting of Tithe Barn, which is a Grade II listed building

What decided it

The conversion would not harm the setting of the Grade II listed building Tithe Barn because the building size would remain unchanged, visual alterations would be largely screened by intervening hedging, and materials would be visually compatible with the existing structure.
