REPORT

There may well be instances where traditional farm buildings are unable to be maintained within agricultural use and so it is preferable that they are restored in line with their heritage value in order to be put to other uses.

However, where such an alternative use is permitted, this use should only be for the traditional farm buildings themselves and should not be for surrounding agricultural land, which should remain in agricultural use irrespective of the new use for the farm buildings.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no financial and manpower implications to this proposed amendment. CRIA statement

This amendment has been assessed in relation to the Bridging Island Plan CRIA and indirectly benefits children by seeking to preserve the natural environment adjoining traditional farm buildings around the Island.
