Planning application 2026/1424/VRC: The Barn 55A Dallimore Lane Dean Shepton Mallet Somerset BA4 4SA

Executive summary

  • Reference: 2026/1424/VRC
  • Council: Somerset
  • Address: The Barn 55A Dallimore Lane, Dean, Shepton Mallet, Somerset BA4 4SA
  • Status: Registered
  • Proposal: Variation of conditions related to a barn conversion project.

What is proposed

This application seeks to vary Condition 2 (Drawing Numbers) and remove Conditions 3 (Walling Materials), 4 (Schedule of Materials), 5 (Window, Doors or Glazed Screening Details), and 6 (Hard and Soft Landscaping) from the previously approved planning permission 2015/1227/FUL. The original permission was for the conversion of a barn to a dwelling, which included the addition of an extension and minor amendments to the current approved plans (referenced as 2024/0339/FUL).

Material considerations residents often raise

Residents may raise several material considerations regarding this proposal, particularly in relation to:

  • Extension: Concerns may arise about the impact of the proposed extension on light and privacy for neighbouring properties.
  • Character: The removal of conditions related to materials and landscaping could affect the visual character of the area, which is often a concern for local residents.
  • Landscaping: The absence of a detailed landscaping plan may lead to worries about the potential for overdevelopment or a lack of greenery in the area.

These considerations are specific to the current proposal and should be taken into account when commenting on the application.
