Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a property that has a 4,500 sq ft house and a 4,000 sq ft barn some 50m away from the house.
The barn has stables, various rooms and upstairs several rooms too, the barn was given incidental use to the main dwelling house some 20 years ago and about 8 years ago full planning permission to convert to a separate dwelling, which never went ahead.
My question is, given the above, would it be acceptable to planners to demolish the entire 4,000 sq ft barn and add say 3,000 sq ft extension to the main dwelling?
The house is in green belt, by demolishing a separate building would help the openness of the countryside too maybe?
Thanks!
