Plans to change the use of a former equestrian centre in Pudsey into a family home have been approved by council officers – subject to a raft of planning conditions.
Applicants Mr and Mrs Slinger submitted a planning application to convert an existing agricultural barn at Acres Hall Farm, off Acres Hall Avenue, into a four-bedroom detached home. Proposals included an access track and parking.
Mr and Mrs Slinger argued that the plans should be approved under permitted development rights, which allow householders to improve and extend properties without the need to apply for full planning permission.
18 objections were received to the proposal, including one from Cllr Dawn and Cllr Simon Seary, who said the development would be ‘inappropriate’ in the greenbelt.
Council planning officers approved the permitted development application, subject to a raft of 12 conditions including the applicant submitting acceptable drainage scheme and foul water drainage information.
The fresh proposals come after council planners refused an application last July for a stone-built six-bedroom home at the farm. Planners said the development was not in accordance with the council’s development plan.
