The developers of Moor View Farm have been granted planning permission to demolish the out buildings and to build five detached and two semi-detached houses on the site.

The farmhouse refurbishment is well on its way to completion and the out buildings have now been demolished. The builders are presently awaiting the outcome of water and mine survey before work on the properties can begin.

As part of the scheme, local organisations can apply for a share of £13,000 to help fund projects that benefit the community.

The planning applications for the project were:

• 14/02155/FUL for the building of houses on the lower part of the site
• 14/02232/FUL for the upper part of the site to replace the dilapidated barns with two dwellings
•  14/01368/FUL to add an extension to the existing farmhouse

Planning application 14/02155/FUL for the building of houses on the lower part of the Moor View Farm site is now online and open for comments.

The more detailed plans show five houses, garages, 12 parking spaces and two drives for vehicle access from Manchester Road.

This application is being submitted alongside another scheme, 14/02232/FUL, for the upper part of the site to replace the dilapidated barns with two dwellings, which is also open for comment.

There is also an application 14/01368/FUL to add an extension to the existing farmhouse.

Five new houses are being proposed for the Moor View Farm site, alongside restoration of the main farm buildings.

Jaguar Estates, the company behind the Moor View Farm development, has shared initial details of their plans. They intend to rescue the main old house and fully restore it. This will involve replacement of the rear extension with a similar one on two levels.

The developers propose to rebuild the outbuildings – which are unsafe and in poor order  – along the same lines to maintain the farm feeling, and create another two barn-style dwellings on the top part of the site.

A new roadway is proposed down the right side of the existing house to serve five new 3/4 bedroomed houses across the rear of the site.

Details of the scheme will be worked up in the near future for a full submission in May. The planners won’t accept an application until the developers have refreshed the bat survey in May. This survey showed an absence of bats last September.

In the meantime, work starts on the main farmhouse in March.
