The original barn or outbuilding that is built without permission and unauthorised will always remain unauthorised, for the future sale of it and so on. If the period has elapsed, it will become statute barred. The Deputy's question is whether, if someone were to build an extension to that unauthorised building, that additional development would be exempted. I do not think it would be, but it is an issue we will certainly check. I understand the point he is making.
