Planning Design Practice have secured planning permission for an extension to a converted barn at a site near Rotherham.
Initially, the Local Planning Authority were unhappy with the principle of an extension to the converted barn because they felt that it would result in the over-domestification of the building. However, Planning Design Practice were able to locate Ordnance Survey images of the original barn from the late 1800’s depicting a long linear single-storey extension. Planning Design Practice also put forward photographic evidence of markings on the wall of the original barn to demonstrate the existence of a former pitched roof extension.
Given this weight of evidence, the Local Planning Authority eventually accepted proposals for a substantial single-storey extension to the building. The extension was designed to appear as rural in character and appearance as possible, so as not to impact upon the rural street scene.
