Planning consent Permission under Class Q(a) & (b) of the Permitted Development Right regulations 2015 was originally granted by South Hams District Council on 26th January 2018 under reference 4051/17/pdm for the conversion of Barn at Merrifield into a residential dwelling. The consent gives Class Q approval for the conversion of Merrifield Barn into a 3-bedroom dwelling together with open plan living which provides a floor area of 96m².
The application was supported by detailed elevation drawings and floor plans together with a structural appraisal prepared by hb Surveying Ltd; however, these plans can be changed and prospective purchasers can submit a revised application to gain approval for the size and type of dwelling that they desire.
A further application3284/20/pdm for prior approval of an agricultural building to a dwelling C3 was required and given by South Hams District Council dated 30th November 2020.
It has also been recognised, in the Appeal decision Mansell v Tonbridge and Malling bc [2017] ewca Civ 1314, that since a Class Q approval has been secured, this is a material planning consideration and can be used as a fall-back position for a future application for a replacement dwelling on the site of [the barn]. This, therefore, means that there is an opportunity for prospective purchasers to submit an application for an architecturally-designed dwelling to replace [the barn] on the site.
