Sowerby Bridge holiday let into a home proposal is approved
Planners agree status of property at Triangle can be changed v.1
It’s often the other way round in planning applications, but this time around planners have given permission for a holiday let to be converted into a home.
Calderdale Council planners have given M. Howarth approval to make the change at Delf Barn, Clapgate Lane, Triangle, near Sowerby Bridge.
Planners heard the one-bedroom holiday let in within the grounds of Delf Barn.
The property was extended in 2016, where permission was also given to use it as a holiday let, planning officers noted.
Delf Barn is part of a cluster of properties.
The holiday let is located to the north of the host dwelling and faces onto the garden area, said the planners.
Assessing the proposal, they said: “The proposal is considered to fall under the re-use of a building provided that the building is of a permanent and substantial construction.
“It is an application for the change of use from holiday let to a permanent residential dwelling.
“The building is of a permanent and substantial construction as it has previously been used as a holiday let.
“There are no alterations proposed – it is simply a change of use application and considered acceptable in principle,” they concluded.
