Housing Policy 11
Requires conversions of rural buildings to dwellings where redundant, structurally sound, of interest, suitable size, compatible use, and serviced, using original materials/appearance. Officer applied criteria to non-residential estate office use analogously, confirming redundancy, structural capacity with justified partial rebuild matching finishes, character interest, suitable scale/location/services. Exceptional circumstances allowed limited rebuild to avoid intrinsic alteration of building value.
