Barn Conversion Planned Near Wolsingham Gets Council Consideration Barn Conversion Planned Near Wolsingham Gets Council Consideration

Someone wants to change a barn into part of a house. It’s a barn at High Fawnlees, near Wolsingham. The plan is to link it to the main house with a new bit. Gerard te Lintelo proposed this; Garry Hodgson helped with the planning part. They also want to tear down some old buildings there.

The land is already a house and a barn. It covers almost 1,500 square metres. The documents mention its location and it’s in a pretty area in North West Durham. It is about 3km from Wolsingham.

They want to make the property bigger. The footprint would grow a little bit, and the inside space would also increase. A new section will connect the barn to the house. This will form a private outdoor space.

They plan to demolish a small shed and part of a garage. Both are currently attached. They’ll keep the stone from the existing buildings, and will replace the back wall with natural stone too. They want a new stone wall on two sides to mark the property lines and parking.

The current driveway will stay as it is, and parking will increase from two spots to four. The land isn’t prone to flooding, and it’s not near any rivers or streams.

There are protected animals and plants there. The current value is a biodiversity score of 0.1. Rainwater will drain using a soakaway system. Sewage will go to a private treatment plant.

The local council generally supports the project, but they still need more information.
