The original planning application covered two elements: the construction of the new house and the reconstruction of the original farm outbuildings<\/em> (barn, stable and cow-shed), arranged around a courtyard. Budget constraints meant it was initially only possible to build the house, but now there’s (expected to be) sufficient funding available for the Outbuildings too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a Planning approval standpoint there’s no issue with starting construction in 2024\/25 against planning permission granted in 2013: because there was a single<\/em> planning application covering both elements, and since construction was ‘started’, planning consent to complete the scope of the original approval remains in perpetuity. Building Control approval isn’t quite the same: while the whole project was covered by a single “Initial Notice” submitted in 2014, since no element of the Outbuildings was started at that time, the new work needs to comply with the latest Building Regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new buildings will be on the same footprint as, and with the same appearance as, the original outbuildings – but they’ll be used differently from how they were historically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
