Lower Sminhayes Farm, Exmoor National Park

The proposal relates to the updating of the property and an extension to meet the need of a family, yet ensures the impact is minimal and is not excessive in respect the character of the surrounding landscape, individual building and farmstead.

The site is located in its own land with no immediate neighbours, in the Brendon Hills, within the Exmoor National Park.

The out of character conservatory will be replaced with a single storey living room built of materials relevant to the location, the internal layout will be reconfigured to create 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and the ground will be re-modelled to include a ground floor bedroom and ensuite. Thus creating flexibility for multigenerational living.

The proposed replacement of the conservatory will include the alterations to the existing shape which will extend the gross internal floor area by just 0.5M2. The proposed replacement of the existing conservatory would significantly enhance the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and its surroundings, and is clearly of the highest quality in terms of its construction and design.
