Bell Cornwell Projects
Residential Barn Conversion - Combefishacre Barn, Nr Ipplepen,
Devon
Client: Devon County Council
Architects: Allan B Matthews
Local Authority: Teignbridge District Council
Bell Cornwell successfully obtained planning permission and
listed building consent for the conversion of this Grade II listed
former cider barn to form a single dwelling following lengthy
negotiations with Teignbridge Council and the Environment Agency.
Despite a general presumption against residential barn
conversions Bell Cornwell were able to demonstrate to the Council
that the barn was capable of conversion without substantial
reconstruction and that the conversion of the barn for commercial
purposes would not be viable.
Bell Cornwell were also able to demonstrate that the roads
leading to the site were unsuitable for commercial traffic and that
the conversion could be carried out without compromising the
integrity of the listed structure.
As a consequence Teignbridge Council agreed that the only viable
option for the retention of this important listed barn was to
convert the barn to a single dwelling.
