Assess the current condition of the building (including a structural survey by an experienced structural engineer) 3. Obtain scoping surveys for ecology 4. Identify and detail the work required to repair the fabric to allow the building to continue in agricultural use, based on three criteria of urgent, necessary and desirable - annotated photographs or rectified photography preferred so that the proposed works can be presented in a visual way to owners, tenants and funders 5.
