Policy RA4: Traditional Historic Farm Buildings
Traditional historic farm buildings will be retained in effective and appropriate use, and proposals for their reuse and/or subsequent alteration should:
(iv) Ensure proper protection of existing wildlife and habitats.
We are assuming that existing wildlife refers to protected species that may be present in the building or using the site, therefore we would suggest either including protected species in the bullet point or in the supporting text, and this bullet should not only cover their protection but enhancement of species and supporting habitats.
