Tel 01624 685950 Proposal Drawing (20 1480 05) Site, Location & Survey Drawing (20 1480 04) NOTE As the proposed works are in close proximity to the watercourse, precautions will be needed to reduce the possibility of harmful materials such as concrete or washings entering the river. DEFA Fisheries have no objection to the proposed development, provided that there is no disturbance of the watercourse. The applicant is therefore advised to contact Fisheries Officers when works are due to commence (Tel. 685857). This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposal would represent a modest and sensitive conversion of a redundant outbuilding within a residential curtilage with design detailing to tie it to the main house, which although the principle is not specifically allowed for by Strategic Plan policies, the reuse of buildings is encouraged by Strategic Policy 1 and there is broad support for the sensitive conversion of redundant agricultural buildings. Furthermore, the building is located within an existing residential curtilage and the proposed use as a home office, as an ancillary use to the main house, is an acceptable and increasingly common form of development. Date of Issue: 15th December 2021 Director of Planning and Building Control
