Why it was refused

  1. The proposed conversion of the agricultural building to a dwelling would require the construction of a substantial new access track approximately 450m in length across open countryside in order to connect the site to the public highway. The introduction of this engineered feature, together with the associated domestic activity, would result in a prominent and incongruous feature within the rural landscape that would fail to enhance the immediate setting of the building and would instead erode the rural character of the area. The proposal therefore represents unjustified isolated residential development in the countryside and is contrary to Policy RUR3 and Policy DEV5 of the Eden Local Plan and paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed alterations to the building, in particular the formation of a large glazed opening within the gable elevation and the extent of additional glazing proposed, would introduce an overly domestic form of development that fails to respect the South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4DQ westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk simple, robust and utilitarian character of the traditional agricultural building. As such, the proposal would detract from the agricultural character of the building and would fail to represent a sympathetic conversion, contrary to Policies RUR3 and DEV5 of the Eden Local Plan.
