The officer assessed that the barns met Housing Policy 11 as their agricultural use is redundant, they are structurally capable of renovation per the submitted engineer's report by Structural Engineer…
Housing Policy 11
Requires rural building conversions to dwellings only if redundant, structurally sound, of interest, large enough without major extension, compatible with surroundings, and serviced without public cost; must retain original appearance. Officer found barns redundant (no longer farm), structurally capable per report, architecturally attractive Manx stone examples warranting retention, suitable size without extension needed, compatible as house extension, using existing services.
Transport Policy 4
Requires highways to safely accommodate development traffic. Access substandard with limited visibility but accepted due to low additional traffic from ancillary use; prior refusals for higher traffic schemes overturned by linking to main house.
