Traditional Cider Barn - The traditional cider barn is predominantly of stone and timber frame construction, the barn has two storeys with external stone steps leading to the first floor. The Traditional Cider Barn (Plot No. 8) has the benefit of planning permission P221395/F for conversion to a 157 M² two-bedroom residential dwelling.

Lot 2: Three Barn Conversions And Four New Build -

Farm Buildings - The existing farm buildings are a combination of traditional and modern steel portal frame buildings. The traditional buildings are located around an open yard next to the farmhouse with which they share access. The impressive barns are predominantly of stone and timber frame construction but are not listed.

The modern portal frame buildings are situated to their south with separate road access. These have mainly been used for keeping cattle and agricultural storage purposes.

The traditional buildings benefit from planning permission for conversion to residential dwellings
forming plots 5, 6, and 7 of the proposed development under planning permission P221395/F.

The modern portal frame buildings are to be demolished and replaced with four new build residential dwellings forming plots 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the proposed development under planning permission P221395/F.

Proposed Accommodation - The site of the former agricultural buildings has planning consent for residential development. The proposed scheme would create seven dwellings in total. Three dwellings would be created through the conversion of ‘historic’ buildings, and a further four dwellings through the removal of modern portal frame buildings to the southeast of the historic grouping and replacement with sympathetically designed new dwellings.

The proposed scheme is shown in more detail in the sales brochure.

Plot 1-4 Replacement Dwellings -

Each plot is designed to sit sympathetically alongside the nearby traditional buildings replicating their style and layout.

The new builds will be a mix of two storey dwellings with single storey garage and bike store.

External walls will be of timber cladding and rubble stone but in contrast with the traditional buildings will be of modern and sympathetic style.

The use of corrugated metal roofing will be subtly different to the slate and other roof covering on the traditional buildings but again provide a modern and sympathetic style.

Plots 5-7 The Traditional Buildings - Each plot retains the character and format of the existing bays all within the envelope of the traditional buildings.

Maximum opportunity has been taken to retain the fully vaulted roof elements, allowing existing roof trusses to be visible and providing the same sense of internal volume.

Few structural changes are necessary as most doors and windows use existing openings.

The present buildings will accommodate garaging, bike and bin stores thus avoiding the need for any future ad hoc buildings.

Access - The existing access serving Treduchan Farm house and units 5 - 7 is to be retained as existing. The access serving units 1 - 4 is proximate to the existing access serving the modern agricultural buildings, but relocated further south to improve emergent visibility. The access currently serving units 5/6 will be closed off. A new field gate access is to be provided south of the main red line site area so as to avoid conflict between agricultural and residential traffic.

Services - Mains water and electricity are understood to be available at the site. The farmhouse has private septic tank drainage. The site is not understood to be served by mains gas or sewerage. Accordingly, the developments drainage proposal includes for a non-mains drainage system and the scheme presents opportunities to incorporate renewable heating technologies.
