  Agricultural Buildings To The South Of Chapel House Wearhead DL13 1EB

  Restoration of the former cottage, conservation of the existing byre, and the conversion/rebuild of the former hay barn footprint to form a single three-bedroom dwelling with single storey extension. Construction of a detached garage, off-road parking, EV-charging provision and associated amenity space. Area identified for ground-mounted solar PV to the south. Retrospective planning permission is also sought for the access track in its current position, as its alignment differs from that approved under application DM/20/02778/FPA.
