The consent provides for a new triple garage block with a home office over. Generous gardens and scope to create a roundabout/turning area to complement an impressive scheme.

PLANNING PERMISSION

Full Planning Permission (application no. S24/0413) was granted by South Kesteven District Council on 23rd July 2024 for the conversion and extension of the barns to form two individual detached dwellings, the development to commence before three years of the date of consent.

COVENANTS
