Redundant barns near Bridgerule, Devon.
The client sought to develop a group of barns located in open countryside. The barns themselves wre not very well positioned so we developed a two-stage strategy. First, we secured permitted development approval under Class Q for the conversion of the barns. We then prepared a full planning application to demolish and replace the barns with a sensitively designed dwelling better suited to the site and its landscape context. This approval significantly enhanced the overall value of the site and developed a high standard of bespoke new homes

The site had been subject to unauthorised development for a number of years. We were tasked with regularising the planning position and establishing a lawful baseline by securing a retrospective Certificate of Lawfulness. With this fallback in place we were able to obtain planning permission for a new house to replace the mobile home delivering a stunning new bungalow.
