Class Q consent for has been granted on the outskirts of Melton Mowbray for two High Quality Barn Conversions. Meadowcroft Development is located on Melton Road, Scalford, where these conversions offer a unique opportunity to create two distinctive local homes that both blend rustic charm with modern living. You will see from the floorplans that they offer two spacious residencies and a unique living experience with superb views across the neighbouring countryside.

Description - Barn conversions are an exciting and rewarding project, but they require careful planning and adherence to local regulations. With the help of HSSP Architects, local to Melton Mowbray, this exciting project was granted full planning by the local council on 30th May 2024.

The collection of barns is set back approximately 185 meters from the road and are served by an existing gated access for vehicles. The site has maintained the existing gated access affording agricultural traffic access to the site. The two barns, plot 1 and plot 2, measure 232m2 and 231m2 respectively.
Our clients have farmed on the site since the early 1960’s and presently, neither of the barns are currently in use and haven’t been for the last five years.
The pictures that you see are architect’s impressions of the finished conversions with floorplans also listed. Further information can be found on Melton Borough Council Website, search for planning and the number 24/00166/GDOCOU.

Agents Note - AGENT & HSSP NOTE: PLANNING NUMBER 24/00166/GDOCOU, decision notice dated 03 June 2024.
This permission falls under General Permitted Development Class Q; it is a notice issued by the Local Planning Authority stating that they are of the opinion that the property owner has the right to convert the barns to two dwelling houses, subject to conditions. This differs to full detailed planning approval. The width of the access track and turning facilities are not a Class Q consideration.
There are no conditions pertaining to hard or soft landscaping aside from being in accordance with the approved drawings. There are no dimensions on the driveway shown on the planning drawings. Therefore, the exact widths and radii of driveways/turning areas can be amended, within reason, to meet building regulations without further approval.
It should be noted that the approval and drawings are for “planning purposes only”, building regulation approval remains a statutory requirement.
If the site owner wishes to develop the site in a way that differs to the extant permission, they could submit a full detailed planning application.
