Planning Consent
A General Permitted Development Order was granted on 8th January 2025.
(Ref: ZC24/04039/PBR) for the change of use of an Agricultural Building to a Dwellinghouse (Class C3). The approved plans include the creation of a single residential property with associated works, subject to specified conditions and compliance with building regulations. Full documentation available from the selling agents or on North Yorkshire County Council’s website.
Proposed Plans
The plans propose a conversion from an existing agricultural building to a dwelling house. The site plan shows an outlay of a single-storey dwelling consisting of x4 bedrooms, x3 bathrooms, open plan kitchen/living area, a utility room, pantry and large hallway. The gross internal floor area is 210 square metres.
Existing Property
The farm buildings lie south of the property close to the site entrance
Agricultural shed – circa 2474.93 sq. ft
This building has been originally used to house livestock. It is a single-story, three-bay roof structure with blockworthy masonry walls supporting a timber and steel sheet roof above a solid concrete slab ground floor. The building is in satisfactory condition and would be suitable for conversion without the need to alter the existing structure with the exemption of the right-hand bay which would need minor adjustments.
Outbuilding – circa. 501.87 sq. ft
An established traditional Brick building located west of the shed. Not part of the permitted development order.
