OL14 Change of Use or Conversion of Redundant Agricultural Buildings

The change of use or conversion of redundant agricultural and other rural buildings will be acceptable only if the redundant building is substantial and attractive and, with normal repair and maintenance can be expected to last for many years. The local planning authority will judge the appropriateness of a scheme of conversion and/or alternative use having regard to:

  1. The effect of any building conversion work and other development needed upon the character, appearance or setting of the building or the area in which it is located; and
  2. Whether the new proposed activity would disturb the amenities of the area.
  3. Where the building is located within the green belt that it accords with the objectives of policies OL1-OL3.
