Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside for its own sake. Officer assessed the proposal as not introducing new development but reusing an existing approved building with no adverse change to character or appearance.
Environment Policy 2
Protects areas of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance with presumption against development. Site is within such an area, but conversion deemed acceptable as building already adapted for non-agricultural use without visual impact.
General Policy 3
Relevant to countryside protection alongside ENV1/2. Officer balanced against provisions for building reuse.
Housing Policy 11
Permits conversion of existing rural buildings of historic, architectural or social interest that are redundant, without significant adverse change. Building previously approved for ancillary/tourist use, so steps already taken; would have been supported if residential sought initially.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
