Plans to turn a building into a two-bedroom house on the border between the Ribble Valley and Blackburn have been submitted.

The building, Croft Cottage, is at Ramsgreave Hall Farm in Ramsgreave, with plans being submitted to Ribble Valley Council.

The application says no external works would need to take place to the building with only internal fittings needed.

A planning statement said: “The application is a conversion scheme of the existing building as it stands and as approved.

"There are no physical changes proposed to the building.

“To use the building as a dwelling, as proposed, only internal fitting out is required, as the building is substantially completed.

“The access to the site is a long-standing access and is already in place. The building is surrounded by an existing agricultural concrete yard, where parking and turning can be provided without further physical alteration.

“The conversion will provide a two-bedroomed house.”

The application, submitted by Dr Frances Wade, also said the conversion of the existing building “is not an inappropriate development” in the green belt as it falls within the exception criteria for the reuse of buildings of permanent and substantial construction.
