Search the Public Notice PortalTHREE new homes have been proposed on the land of redundant agricultural facilities in a village's conservation area.
A planning application was submitted to Northumberland County Council by Galbraith to demolish redundant dairy facilities and build three cottages with associated parking at Shaftoe Terrace, Haydon Bridge.
The site comprises a 'former dairy building, an ancillary store, and areas of hardstanding, all of which are no longer in active use and are considered redundant', the application said.
The planned two-bedroomed homes will be considered 'social, affordable or intermediate rent'.
"The development adopts a simple, traditional form that reflects the established vernacular of the village in scale, proportion and materiality," the design and access statement said.
The cottages will be constructed in natural stone, which will reflect the 'architectural character of Haydon Bridge' in efforts to preserve the 'character and appearance of the conservation area, while providing high-quality, accessible accommodation'.
Designed with 'older occupants in mind', the cottages prioritise adaptability, with two double bedrooms.
"The principal living accommodation is arranged as an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, creating a bright and adaptable environment.
"Three-panel patio doors enhance natural light and provide direct access to the rear gardens," the statement added.
Two parking spaces will be provided for each cottage, with additional visitor parking located on the site.
A refuse point will be at the site entrance, enabling convenient access for waste collection.
A heritage statement said the site is located opposite the Grade II listed Almshouses and associated buildings.
"The former dairy building is a mid-20th-century ancillary structure of low heritage significance that does not contribute to the character or appearance of the conservation area," it said.
"The proposed cottages are of a scale, form, layout, and materiality that reflect the established character of Haydon Bridge and will preserve and enhance the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings opposite."
