PLANNING chiefs at Warrington have given the go-ahead to proposals to link an existing barn conversion to an adjoining former agricultural property in Lymm.
The development is proposed at Cherry Lane Barns and will be accessed from Cherry Lane.
In recent years the former farm site has undergone conversion to form four individual dwellings. The barns involved had not been used for agricultural purposes for at least 15 years.
The newly approved scheme will result in one of the barns known as the Cowshed being linked to another unit known as The Hayloft by a single-storey extension.
Warrington Borough Council planning officers say the proposal is acceptable. The flat-roofed extension will not be visible from the public highway and while not particularly in keeping with the agricultural character of a barn, the site has already lost some of its agricultural character.
The proposal will be a modern addition to the site, but with the use of sympathetic materials will not have an unacceptable impact on the existing buildings, nor the street scene.
