UK: A planning application has been submitted to convert an agricultural building in Wadebridge, Cornwall, in to an aparthotel.
The application was submitted by Smart Bluefrog Ltd on behalf of landowners Peter and Margaret Biddick, for a plot west of Treravel Farm in St Ervan.
The application reads: “During the past ten years, the applicants have built large modern farmyard premises elsewhere on the holding and inevitably the traditional yard at Treravel Farm (containing the old farm buildings) became redundant for agricultural purposes. It is a spacious built environment with existing concrete access provision to the adjoining public highway. Four converted dwellings are permitted to be established elsewhere in the yard.
“Conversion will allow for three apartments on the ground floor (comprising floorspace of 240.7 square metres) and a further three at first-floor level (comprising 226.3 square metres floorspace.) The apartments are designed to offer diversity in terms of size and layout. Units 1 and 4 are two-bedroom bed apartments, units 2 and 5 are studio apartments, units 3 and 6 are one-bedroom apartments.”
“Communal facilities include a welcoming communal entrance lobby with a proposed interactive touch-screen concierge, check-in/check-out and information centre. The ground floor apartments are accessed from this lobby together with a private cleaner’s store, a communal laundry room and stairs leading to the first-floor apartments,” it added.
Cornwall Council will determine planning application PA19/09395 by Monday, December 23.
