This scheme consists of two proposed developments on land owned by our Client West of Allendale village. The site lies in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, and is defined to the North by a small area of forest, and to the South by the B6925 highway. There is also a Grade II Listed building to the South of the Site, and a section of the old Allendale flue system, a scheduled monument, running across the Site from North to South.

One proposal involves the refurbishment and extension of a small byre to create one new Dwelling including the provision of a new access point from the highway. The byre is located centrally on the plot of land, and is cut into an existing slope. The extension is proposed to be constructed of sandstone to match the existing byre and the general appearance of the surrounding buildings.

The other proposal involves the creation of a pair of new semi-detached dwellings to the South-East corner of the Site. Those are located to extend the existing line of residential development to this area of the Site, and designed to match the existing dwellings to the West of the Site.

JPA have provided Lead Designer services for the Project including the preparation of the preliminary designs; arranging a topographical survey; and, the preparation of the Pre-Application Advice submission to the Local Authority. JPA have prepared and submitted Full Planning Applications to the Local Authority for both developments, which included the coordination of Consultants to prepare a Structural Survey Report; a Traffic Survey Report; Ecological Reports; a Land Contamination Report; and Archaeological Appraisals. Both Applications have been reviewed at Planning Commitee level, and we are pleased to announce both the semi-detached and byre devlopments have been granted Planning Permission.
