Agents's Note

Planning permission has been granted under application reference 24/0064/FUL for the 'Formation of new vehicular access and closure of existing access'. The line of the new vehicular access is shown hatched in yellow on the site plan (page 4).

This permission will provide a new, highways authority approved access off the A448 and the closure of existing sub-standard accesses. This access is suitable for residential and agricultural vehicles. A material start on the permission must be made within 3 years of the date of the permission (17th July 2027). This approval is subject to conditions regarding planting, landscape and ecological plans, trees and visibility splays. Some of these conditions will require a Discharge of Condition application prior to the commencement of the development and some will be prior to first use. Additional application details and all relevant documentation can be found at:

Development Opportunity

The site is located within the designated Green Belt where development is strictly controlled by both Local and National Planning Policy. Within the Wyre Forest Local Plan (2016-2036) Policy DM.22 sets out exceptions for development which includes the 're-use or conversion of buildings in accordance with the policies for the re-use and adaptation of rural buildings'. Therefore, there is policy support for the re-purposing and conversion of agricultural buildings in this locality, subject to further review and assessment. Conversions must preserve the openness of the Green Belt and not conflict with it's purposes in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The Chaddesley Corbett Neighbourhood Plan should also be considered in respect of any proposed application as well as surrounding properties and local built density.

Any application for the conversion of the former barns would need to be supported by technical surveys confirming their suitability for conversion including a structural report, preliminary ecological assessment, access appraisal and other relevant surveys identified by the Wyre Forest Validation Checklist. Given that the site is adjacent to the Grade II Listed 'Winterfold House' (Winterfold School) any application would also require a Heritage Impact Assessment to be completed.
