Proposed Development And Planning History - This proposed development involves the conversion of historic brick and tile farm buildings to create three dwellings. Additionally, a detached garage block and other ancillary works are included in the plan. The application also proposes the demolition of a group of modern agricultural buildings adjacent to the traditional farmstead.

The traditional buildings are arranged in a horseshoe shape around three sides of a courtyard. Two of the buildings are single-storey and linked in an L-shape, while a third, two-storey building is located at the southern end of the courtyard. The proposed scheme includes converting these buildings into one four-bedroom dwelling and two two-bedroom dwellings. A modern tractor shed, forming the western side of the courtyard, will be demolished and replaced with a single-storey garage block.

The new garage block will be constructed with traditional brick and tile to match the existing agricultural buildings and will include a double garage for each dwelling along with an enclosed bin store.

Location And Property Information - The site is situated in the open countryside and Green Belt, nestled between the main rural centres of Studley and Alcester. It is approximately 2.8 km from the centre of Studley and 4 km from the centre of Alcester. The farm is adjacent to the A435, which runs to the west of the farmhouse and farm buildings.

The buildings slated for conversion are part of a traditional farmhouse, Parkfield Farm, located to the south of the group of buildings. The application proposes the conversion of a courtyard group of traditional agricultural buildings that are closely associated with the farmhouse. The site benefits from two existing points of access.

Services & Planning - This site, covering approximately 2.36 acres (0.95 ha), includes part of the original farmyard, a two-story brick Coach House, a modern Dutch barn, and a pasture field at the rear. Full planning permission (Ref. 21/02912/full) was granted on April 27th, 2022, for the conversion of the property into three residential units with a garage block.

The site features an eight-bay Dutch barn measuring 140' 6" x 25' (42.8m x 7.62m) with a lean-to extension of 140' 6" x 30' (42.8m x 9.14m). The barn has a partially concrete floor and is partially clad in corrugated steel. Additionally, there is a roadside steel portal-framed open-fronted storage building measuring 45' x 20' (14.3m x 6m), with a pitched fibre cement roof and a concrete floor.

The property is connected to 3-phase mains electricity and mains water, with hot water provided by an immersion heater. Foul drainage is connected to the mains, and it is believed that mains gas is available along the A435. Prospective buyers are advised to verify the availability of these services with the relevant utility companies.
