A GOVERNMENT planning inspector has dismissed an appeal that would have allowed a rural barn to be converted into a house. Last year Bradford Council was informed that a Mr R Hall planned to convert a large barn at Bloody Row, off Green Lane, Queensbury, into a three bed house. It was a permitted development application rather than a full planning application - with the applicant arguing that the conversion would not involve any major construction work. However, planning officers argued that converting the barn, at the rear of the site, into a house would require substantial reconstruction and refused the permitted development request.
