The Street, Brundall Planning permission has been granted for redevelopment of a former barn in the centre of Brundall into single bed apartments. In common with many villages in Norfolk there is a shortage of accommodation for local young people. Building Partnerships designed the scheme to fulfil the local need and help first time buyers entering the housing market. Chris Marsden said “achieving planning permission for conversion of the building to single bedroom apartments is particularly pleasing. The scheme attracted support from the Parish Council and the planning committee appreciated that the development targeted the local need”. The property comprises a former barn in the centre of Brundall that was extensively amended and extended in the 1970’s. The site provides approximately 0.3 acres and has facilities that include a swimming pool. Building Partnerships submitted a planning application for conversion and extension of the property to provide four one-bedroom apartments on the ground and first floors with car parking to the rear. The application was submitted to Broadland District Council with the support of the Parish Council. The scheme reflected the needs of the local community and the local estate agents database showed a demand of 48 applicants for this type of accommodation. The planning application was formulated after negotiation with Broadland District Council. Objections were received against the traffic generated from the scheme and the limited visibility splay onto The Street. Planning permission was granted by Broadland District Council planning committee who appreciated that the development was designed to provide for the need in Brundall. Conversion of the building is likely to be completed by Spring 2007. For further information on this redevelopment please contact the agents: The Property Shop - 01603 717717. |
