Residential Development Opportunity
Newbattle Home Farm is a site of 0.7 ha (1.9 acre). The site comprises the single-storey and two storey assemblage of steading buildings at Newbattle Home Farm and the yard area associated with those agricultural buildings. The steading dates originally form the mid 19th century and comprises five ranges constructed of traditional bonded brick with natural stone masonry details and pitched slate roofs with some attached modern extensions in the form of agricultural sheds. The site is located in the countryside to the north of the village of Newtongrange. It is situated close to the west side of Newbattle Road - the B703 road, behind a farmhouse and cottage that are of similar age and style to the steading buildings but are not part of the application site. The steading is accessed off two separate accesses from the B703 road at a point on the northern end and the southern end of the east boundary of the site. The site is located within the Newbattle Conservation Area. To the south and west the site is bounded by agricultural fields, currently used for grazing. To the east the site is bounded by the B703 and the cottages; on the opposite side of the road are agricultural fields. To the north the site is bounded by a tarmac access road which provides access to neighbouring buildings.
Planning permission has been granted for conversion of agricultural buildings to form two dwellinghouses and associated external alterations; erection of nine dwellinghouses; formation of access and car parking; and associated works. The majority of the existing steading will be demolished (a separate application for Conservation Area Consent has been submitted) with the exception of a 2 storey granary building at the western edge of the steading complex. The granary building will be converted into two dwellinghouses. The new houses will consist of three detached houses (one adjacent to the granary and the remaining two defining the southern edge of the development) and a terrace of six houses defining the northern edge of the development. The houses will enclose a central courtyard that will provide space for parking and landscaping. The new houses will be single story with an additional storey of accommodation in the roofspace via dormers and rooflights. The walls will be finished with brick and the roof will be finished with slate.
