Land for sale

Plot 6, Low Farm Barns, Sneaton YO22

Now with planning permission to demolish the existing buildings and rebuild to your chosen layout, which presents an opportunity to design your own home with the advantage of tax savings, as this will be classed as a new build, so will be VAT excempt, saving 20%.

Located in the highly sought-after village of Sneaton, within the North York Moors National Park, just over 3 miles south of Whitby, is this rare new build plot.

Sneaton boasts a welcoming village atmosphere with amenities such as the local pub, Beacon Farm Shop, an ice cream parlour, a church, and a village hall.

Both properties come with generous rear gardens and ample parking at the front.

The development is approved under planning application number nym/2022/0249, with details available through the agents and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park Planning Portal. In accordance with the nymnp's CO13 policy, these barn conversions must serve as principal residences, meaning the main occupier must live in them for at least 80% of the year if they own another property.

Pre application advice to allow demolition of barns to be converted under planning approval nym/2022/0249 and the construction of new build dwellings; partial demolition of the barns (unit 5 only), construction of one new building dwelling and conversion of remaining barn (plot 6) to dwelling; or demolition and rebuilding of barn (plot 6) to form a dwelling at Low Farm Development, Sneaton.

However, the details of the design would need to be carefully considered as we would not want to see two clearly detached modern designed dwellings. It would be preferable if this could be achieved whilst retaining the original barn layout, or have a similar layout but with a small central pathway or a gap with a linking wall, to effectively create two detached units, but with minimal disruption to the original form and layout?

Site viewings are available by appointment, and appropriate ppe is required. All visits must be accompanied by the agent.
