I have been involved in.disability training and.the arts in many parts of the UK, and especially in.rural areas where such facilities are rare and often dependent upon meagre personal resources.

While the appellant seeks to minimise his disability the Planning Officers ought to have considered the availability of accessible facilities for disabled artists, trainees, young people, and their families. While there may have been a slight technical error, I feel this is overwhelmingly countered by the indisputable benefits the revised building would bring. It ought to be oernitted, without setting a precedent, on the grounds of community enterprise, disability legal rights - to for.instance livelihood with suitable adaptations - and the appelants clear wish to comply as much as his knowledge and capacity allowed.

There are no benefits (that I can see) from taking this building down but many benefits to it staying.
