Planning and Building Regulations Consents
The original planning consent for the conversion of the three existing farm buildings was issued on the 10th February, 2004 under application no. 32/379/03/fu. This consent is still valid following a start having been made on the development.
Building Regulations Approval was granted on 6th October, 2008 with the approval of building plans ‘notice of decision’ under reference B/08/04146/othfp.
The second and latest planning consent for the re-construction of the Grinding Barn and Gin Race was granted on 3rd June, 2010 under reference no. 10/01542/fu.
Listed Building Consent was deemed necessary by Leeds City Council for the Grinding Barn and Gin Race re-construction, and this consent is still awaited (on 30th June 2010).
Services
Main water, electricity and gas are available in Austhorpe Lane which runs along the western boundary of the site. There is a main sewer also under Austhorpe Lane but an alternative connection into a private sewer which crosses the farm land on the east side of the site is being investigated at present by the current owner, as being possibly the more economical method of disposing of foul water.
