Planning Circular 3/89 Renovation of Buildings in the Countryside
Requires redundant, substantially intact and structurally capable countryside buildings of architectural/historic interest to be suitable for renovation without replacement. Officer found barn met architectural interest (para 2) and structural criteria (para 7) per engineer's report but failed redundancy test (para 3) as currently let/used as cow house. Tension arose from applicant's claim of uneconomic upkeep despite active agricultural letting.
Approve. The Commissioners would like to add the proviso that the houses must be for rental only and remain part of the estate.

makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice.
