We are pleased to have been advised that one of our designs has been allowed through appeal!
Ashall Town Planning has done a fantastic job turning this contentious application around for the client. We proposed a single-story rear barn extension to an existing converted barn within a designated green belt location of Warrington.
An elegant and slimline extension was proposed due to the historical significance of the existing barn, Green belt and Open Countryside sensitivities.
A green living roof has been used to promote sustainability which will also assist in sensitively extending into the open countryside.
A contemporary timber frame with bespoke steel pin joint connections will be used to support the roof and structural glazing maximising the natural light and open countryside views. We have designed the extension so there is minimal disruption to the existing barns fabric providing a glazed connection walkway into the extension.
The inspector even praised the design stating in his report ‘Rather than detract from it, I consider that the high quality, contemporary appearance and modest scale of the extension would complement the existing building. It would be seen as part of the evolution of a building which is no longer used for the same purposes as it was initially intended.’
