Unfortunately not as several have already been converted and the remainder are still in use. We're working with an architect who has a solid track record with these types of schemes (paragraph 79/55/PPS7) who feels a unique design specific to the area alongside the narrative of why we would want to be there (closer to family, eventually raising kids in this type of environment) should see us have a chance. From some of the comments I'd assume several posters have been through this process prior. Should the pre-app come back positive I'll update with some more details.

Hey all, We've just submitted our pre-app for our potential forever home in Northamptonshire. Outside the village boundaries and currently on my OH's family farm so having to go down the paragraph 79/80 route. Ideally ~300msq, 5 bed, 3/4 bath, open plan. I've found this forum super useful so far and fingers crossed we get approval!

Hey all, A mate of mine is looking at building a granny annexe in his garden for his nan to live in (likely 30m/sq). I've been trying to explain the timescales for him as he is looking to complete in September and would like to begin work on this as soon as he is in. My guess was: - Complete on September 11th - Speak to Architect in October - Likely submit plans in November - Outcome Jan/Feb from PP - Start work best case April - Complete by August In your experience what type of timeline would you expect him to be able to complete this in? Thanks, Alfie
