The Walker family, at White Lodge Farm in High Ercall, to the northwest of Telford, resubmitted a proposal after a previous scheme was withdrawn for ecological and historical matters to be addressed.
The barn pre-dates 1880 and was formerly used as a cow shed. However, despite it still being in use, due to the traditional nature of the building, it is underutilised, so a conversion into residential use is considered an appropriate use.
It will create a three-bedroom home with a living/dining space, kitchen and a boot room/utility space. A detached garage also forms part of the conversion, providing parking and a secure garden store.
The home will be accessed by Park Lane, which is an existing private access used for agricultural vehicles.
