Planning application
Agricultural Buildings To The South Of Chapel House Wearhead DL13 1EB
Works: Extension Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
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.
As published by the council, reference DM/26/01971/FPA
