The property
The property comprises of a derelict 2/3 bedroom dwelling split across 2 floors.
The property is original stone construction under a slated roof which has part caved in. Internally there are remnants of the existing slate flagstone flooring as well as the original fireplaces on either gable end.
To the side of the main dwelling is a former cow shed/pig sty. This has the potential to be included within the footprint of the proposed dwelling.
The property is set within its own curtilage with fields surrounding the southern and eastern boundaries of the property.
Planning situation
The sellers have secured pre-application correspondence from Ceredigion County Council planning department enquiring the potential reinstatement of the existing derelict dwelling known as Glanrhos into new dwelling providing 2/3 bedroom accommodation with extension on the side.
The pre-application was dated 1st February 2024 and is confirmed in principle to be in line with current planning policy and is therefore applicable in this sale.
The planning officer concludes in his general opinion that "The reinstatement of the dwelling would meet current planning policy requirements on the basis that:
"1. The original dwelling has not been demolished or fallen into such a state of disrepair so it no longer has a substantial appearance of a dwelling."
This is due to the retention of substantial parts of the external walls especially front and rear elevations, opening for doors or windows, roof, chimney stacks. The officer recognises that while the roof has partly collapsed, the main walls, openings and chimney stacks remain. Such the lpa considers that the building continues to have a substantial appearance of a dwelling.
"2. The building is capable of renovation."
The lpa understands that while the property is in a poor state of repair it is capable of a renovation. Any future applications should be accompanied by a structural survey.
"3. The lpa must be satisfied that this is not a temporary or mobile dwelling."
The lpa confirmed that they are satisfied the building is not temporary or mobile in nature.
The lpa conclude that 'With having regard to the above it is considered that they are in a position to support the principal of reinstatement of the building as a dwelling subject to other local planning policies being met.
The lpa has confirmed that they have no concerns regarding extending the residential accommodation to the adjoining single storey outhouse providing the proposal does not result in a separate and independent unit of accommodation.
Based on this pre-application response we believe a planning application in future would be welcome by the lpa and purchasers should rely on this response. Any queries regarding the lpa response, should be directed at the Planning Department on .
A full copy of this pre-application response is available from the sole selling agents.
