That's how I've handled it. The building may no longer be =shed or farm_auxiliary, I think you will find there is some dispute over that. Some people would insist that the building is still a farm_auxiliary or cowshed or stable because building=* is meant to describe physical characteristics not usage. I'm not a purist on the matter, but when I read that a holiday cottage is a converted stable, building=stable seems natural. > but unless the activity of the farm ceases (and becomes merely a > residential living area or a commercial resort), I think it would still be > on a landuse=farmyard. > I'd generally agree. If you can have tractors and muck-spreaders going past your window all day long, it's still a farmyard. One exception I made is where part of the farmyard has been sold off with walls/fencing erected to separate it and each chunk of land having its own driveway. In that particular case the split-off land has two holiday cottages run by different individuals than the farmer who has his own holiday cottage in a converted building in the farmyard. -- Paul
