Land North Of Shaws House Cottages, Bywell

Farmstead that is occupied by a range of agricultural buildings that are now largely disused. There are a mix of both modern and traditional farm structures in situ, the latter being Grade II listed. These buildings are associated with the listed Shaw's Farmhouse, which is situated adjacent. Whilst a remote location, there may be opportunity for redevelopment in a sustainable manner, likely to be through a sensitive conversion scheme. Permission was granted for creation of 7 dwellings in 2019 (18/03543/FUL). The works involved the alteration and adaption of the traditional listed buildings, along with the demolition of a modern steel-framed barn. Site works have started, a position confirmed through a Section 73 application (22/01590/VARYCO). Therefore, whilst there has been no substantive start on the residential conversion evident to date, the permission will not lapse. The overall scheme is forecast for completion within the next five years.
