Description
THE BARN FOR CONVERSION
KLP are delighted to offer this barn for conversion with deemed approval dated 19 August 2025 and with a land parcel extending to c.3.84 hectares/c.9.5 acres. Formerly part of Hill Farm, Knapp, the land rises gently from east to west with in the main established hedgerow boundaries. Within the land parcel is a further single storey barn, this barn does not have planning permission.
The application drawings show a one bedroom property with an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge with raised ceilings, which extends according to the plans, to c.484 sqft gross internal area. The approved design incorporates the existing stone wall on the east elevation, the roof and the internal timber frame. Access is derived from the minor road to the east. The barn represents a wonderful opportunity to purchase a standalone development in a beautiful location, overlooking the land parcel included in the sale.
KNAPP, NORTH CURRY
Knapp is a hamlet located within the civil parish of North Curry, in Somerset, situated east of Taunton on the southwestern side of the Somerset Levels. The hamlet is part of the parish, which also includes the village of North Curry, approximately half a mile to the east.
North Curry offers shops, post office, pub, church, and health centre, also a Primary School Ofsted listed as outstanding, 2 cricket teams and a lovely community. Further afield is the county town of Taunton, just 7 miles from Knapp offering superb private schooling, lovely restaurants and shops. The town has great sporting opportunities with the County Cricket Ground, Taunton Race Course and Taunton Polo Club, also incredible trail hunting with the Taunton Vale. Also at Taunton is J.25 of the M5 and a mainline railway station.
PLANNING & TECHNICAL
An application under reference 24/25/0019/CQ was registered by Somerset Council 24 June 2025 for prior approval for the proposed change of use of an agricultural building into 1 No. dwelling (use Class C3) on land adjacent to the junction of West Lane and Westmoor Drive, Hill Farm, Knapp, North Curry.
Subsequently Somerset Council did not make a formal decision within the applicable 56 day period. Zac Ellwood, Interim Area Manager at Somerset Council, wrote to our client 20 August 2025 to advise that "In this instance, because prior approval was obtained under W.11 (c) of Part 3 to Schedule 2 of the GPDO 2015, it is my opinion that the relevant "prior approval date" is the date that prior approval was deemed to have been approved - namely 19 August 2025". You therefore have until 19 August 2028 to complete the development".
A Planning & Technical information pack is available from KLP on request, supplied via a Drop Box link.
