PLANS to demolish a barn on a farm near Salisbury and build two new homes have been submitted.

The scheme, submitted by Michael Lyons Architecture on behalf of Mr and Mrs Martin, would see a four-bed house and a two-bed property developed on a plot at Nunton Farm, in Nunton.

It comes after planning permission was previously granted to redevelop the barn.

“The current proposal is to create a more traditional family home with an ancillary dwelling that could be sold off separately but initially is to stay within the one ownership,” the application said.

“The main house is to have four good-sized bedrooms at first floor with formal and open-plan living spaces at ground floor.

“There is utility, plant and storage to the side. The second dwelling has two first-floor bedrooms, again with formal and open-plan living at ground floor.

“The living room could be converted into a ground floor bedroom if this became necessary in the future.”

It said access to the new properties would come from the existing route, while the main house “would retain a very similar finished floor height to the existing barn”.

“The second dwelling would benefit from a timber-framed carport building along the northern boundary with storage above while the main house has a carport wing intergrated into the main form,” it went on.

“Some new native trees and hedging would be planted around the perimeter of the site along with an area to the north east designated for fruit trees.”

Power for the main dwelling would come a ground mounted solar panel array, with both properties benefiting from electric heatpump heating and hot water.

“An outside swimming pool lies to the south west of the main house but the pumps and heating will be within the plant room, eliminating any potential noise disturbance to the neighbouring properties,” the application added.

Wiltshire Council will now consider the plans. For more details, log on to www.wiltshire.gov.uk and search for application reference PL/2024/03106.
