General Policy 3
General Policy 3 permits development outside zoned areas including conversion of redundant rural buildings of architectural, historic, or social value. The planning statement argues the proposal complies as the barn is redundant, structurally capable, of historic interest, and suitable for residential conversion without significant extensions.
Housing Policy 11
Housing Policy 11 allows conversion of rural buildings to dwellings where redundancy is established, the building is structurally sound, of interest, large enough for a dwelling, compatible with surroundings, and servicable without public cost. The statement claims the barn meets all criteria, with retention of original appearance and materials.
Environment Policy 4
Environment Policy 4 protects species and habitats of importance. The ecology report identifies moderate bat roost potential and bird nesting (Barn Swallow, Jackdaw), recommending further surveys, timing restrictions, and compensatory provisions like nest boxes and bat features to mitigate impacts.
