Renovation of Buildings in the Countryside
Requires assessment of structural condition, redundancy, visual impact from highway, and suitability of countryside location for re-use. Officer found building structurally sound, unused/redundant (modern farm buildings elsewhere), visible but not conspicuous as part of complex, and proposed artistic use harmonious with prior approvals, warranting conversion.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans and ancillary use only
This permission relates to the use of the existing sheep shed for a printing workshop as shown in the plans reference 01, 02, 03, 04, 03B and 04B all received on 14th February, 2007. The printing press may be used only as a facility ancillary to the artists' facilities presently on and/or approved on the site under the provisions of PAs 04/0471 and 05/92309. For clarification, this does not grant permission for the creation of a commercial printing facility available to the public.
Access visibility improvements
Prior to the commencement of works on site, the applicant must have removed all existing vegetation which is of a height between 1m and 1.8m above road level growing between the edge of the Grenaby Road and the trunks of the existing trees alongside the highway to the north east of the access up to the culvert across the Grenaby Road and lower the stone wall to the south west of the access on the front boundary of the site to a height not exceeding 1m above road level. This must be retained in a cleared condition following the occupation of the printing workshop.
