• Grade II listed building with proximity to additional listed buildings.
• Conservation Area.
• Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The team at MEP were responsible for the following:

• Extensive public consultation.
• Submission of pre-application enquiry.
• Leading a multi-disciplinary team.
• Preparation, submission and monitoring of the application for planning permission and listed building consent.

The team at MEP demonstrated that whilst two of the new dwellings were located outside the development boundary and thus failed to comply with relevant policy, following the identification of significant issues in terms of heritage and landscape impacts, the proposed location would achieve a more appropriate relationship with the existing buildings whilst also creating a buffer to the main farmstead, noting the Grade II listed barn on site.  The team also demonstrated that the proposed scheme was of a high quality in terms of design reflecting the sensitive location of the site.

Planning permission and listed building consent was obtained in early 2023.
