Description

An excellent opportunity to purchase a development site extending to approximately 0.56 acres, with approved planning permission obtained on the 19 September 2019 to convert existing barns to 4 holiday units and associated works and the barn at Siop Newydd Monknash. Planning permission was granted for the conversion of the two stone buildings to four holiday lets in September 2019. The detailed drawings, structural engineer's report and other details can be seen on the Vale of Glamorgan's website (application number P/DC/2019/00546/FUL). The application boundary was drawn tightly around the building and no external space was allowed for gardens or other amenity space. Car- parking for six cars was required to be provided between buildings. This permission has since lapsed.

Barn A - Approximately 74.8 m2 accommodation including an open plan lounge and kitchen diner, two double bedrooms and shower room.

Barn B - Approximately 54.9 m2 with open plan lounge and kitchen diner, double bedroom and shower room.

Barn C - Approximately 52.2 m2 hallway, open plan lounge and kitchen diner, double bedroom and shower room.

Barn D - Approximately 61.4 m2 open plan lounge, diner and kitchenette, two double bedrooms and bathroom.

Planning History

A subsequent planning application (P/DC/2022/2048/OUT) to convert one of the barns to a dwelling and the other to an office was made by the current owners Vivard Ltd but was refused on the 28 July 2022. An Appeal against this decision was lodged in December 2022 (CAS-02391-24XOY6) but was dismissed in August 2023).

An application was made to renew the existing planning permission by way of simple variation of condition. However, the Local Authority failed to respond within the allotted time and consequently the permission has now lapsed.

Further information regarding planning can be obtained from Vivard Ltd ([use Contact Agent Button]) who will also arrange access to the site.

Additional ground shown edged blue on the plan is also offered for sale (outside the area for which consent has been granted); offers invited.
