Application No.: | 04 / 00624 / B | | :-- | :-- | | Applicant: | HotHammer Developments Ltd | | Proposal: | Amendments to approved conversion of barns to a dwelling (02/01228B) <br> including creation of a revised vehicular entrance and a staff cottage | | Site Address: | Ballavale Farm Ballavale Road Santon | ### Considerations Case Officer : Fiona Mullen Expected Decision Level: Committee Decision ### Written Representations We have received 1 private representations for this application. ### Consultations Consultee : Highways Division Notes : no adverse traffic impacts Consultee : Santon Commissioners Notes : Consultee : Chief Fire Officer Notes: see comments Policy
Planning permission was granted in 2001 for the conversion of an existing barn at Ballavale Farm, Santon, to form a single dwelling. Detailed plans were submitted and approved in 2002. Since that time the barns have fallen into further state of disrepair, but I considered that they are still capable of renovation, albeit with a section rebuilt. A structural survey submitted by the applicant supports this view.
Now proposed is the creation of a dwelling in the main section of barn, the conversion of a stone built structure to garaging and the creation of a staff cottage in a further outbuilding. A new vehicular access is also proposed.
The conversion of eth main building follows the previous approval, albeit with a section of roof raised by 1m, which I consider to be acceptable, given the existing low height. The conversion of a building to staff accommodation and garaging is also considered to be acceptable.
With regard to the access, this is one aspect of the application, which has received objections from neighbouring occupiers (who also object to the development overall). The DoT raises no objection, and given the distance from the neighbouring occupier to the site, I do not consider that the access would impact adversely on their enjoyment of their property.
I consider the application to be acceptable.
