The latest newsletter has also included project news such as:
Works Complete at the Farmers Arms, Woolsery
The first phase of the regeneration of Woolsery village is now complete with the opening of the pub at the heart of the village for locals and visitors alike to enjoy, and has injected new life into what were tired and derelict buildings. The project involved both the renovation and repair of the existing grade II listed cob and thatched building as well as creating a lofty new barn extension to improve the accommodation on the site and access to the building. See here for more information.
Class Q Barn Conversion to a family home
Taking advantage of Class Q planning legislation and converted in only 10 months, the transformation of an agricultural barn to a modern, spacious family home is complete. Maximising on the stunning south facing views the conversion retains a sense of the agricultural roots of the original building whilst creating a modern feel.
Our technical blog summarises the criteria of Class Q permitted development.
Another Busy year for grant aided projects
We have had another busy year working with various clients on their grant aided projects ranging from Heritage Lottery funded work at Halsway Manor and Christ church, Weston-super-Mare to a Historic England grant at Lupton House.
We are also excited to be working alongside Dartmoor National Park on Restoration Management Plans for traditional barns, grant aided by Natural England.
