Description: Conversion of curtilage listed barn to residential dwelling

Project Overview

The project involved the sensitive conversion of a curtilage listed agricultural barn on the edge of the village of Blackford, in Somerset. The proposals involved an extension along the side of the barn to provide more living space for future occupiers, as well as a glazed link extension to an existing outbuilding to provide an additional bedroom. 

Our Role

We supported Hopkins Estates Ltd through the pre-application stage as well as the full planning application, and negotiated the design with South Somerset District Council. We then went on to discharge conditions, submit a s73 application to make design changes to provide an additional porch area, and negotiated the diversion of the existing Public Right of Way which crossed the site.
