Full Planning Permission for Residential Dwelling outside of Settlement Boundary.

Parker Planning Services are pleased to have received full planning permission for the planning application which sought approval for the demolition of redundant barns, to be replaced with a single residential dwelling outside the settlement boundary. The proposed development will substitute multiple deteriorating barns currently on the site. The new dwelling will be a single-storey home featuring 3 bedrooms, an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, a separate utility room, and a home office space.

Although the site is located outside the designated development boundary and is not supported by specific development management policies, it benefits from extant permissions under Class Q for barn conversions. Additionally, there is full permission for the conversion and extension of one of the barns into a single dwelling. These prior approvals provide a significant material consideration and establish a genuine fallback position for the residential occupation of the site.

The proposed design maintains a single-storey format, which aligns with the existing structures and ensures the character of the site remains unchanged. By keeping the dwelling single-storey, the development avoids altering the visual impact of the site with a multi-storey structure.

Given these considerations, the proposal was deemed compliant with both Local and National Planning Policies and planning permission was subsequently granted.
