An unusual development opportunity on the rural edge of Huby: a modern portal-framed agricultural barn with prior approval (North Yorkshire Council, 20 June 2025, App No. ZB25/00801/MBN) to convert to a large single dwelling. The current barn footprint is 259 sq m (2,787 sq ft) and the approved scheme contemplates a completed house of roughly 456 sq m (4,907 sq ft), set within about 1 acre. The site offers wide countryside views, privacy and scope for high-value rural living or a substantial holiday/letting property.
Services are not yet connected: buyers should budget for mains connections (electricity quote c.£16,984.53 received; water quote awaited) and confirm statutory charges. The prior approval must be implemented within three years of the decision date; the development may be liable for Community Infrastructure Levy. Electronic copies of the approved plans and conditions are available via the council portal.
This is best suited to a developer, small building contractor or an owner-occupier prepared to manage a conversion project. The barn’s modern structure, high ceilings and large internal volume give flexibility for open-plan living, multiple reception rooms, home-working space and substantial bedroom suites. The optional adjoining paddock of approximately 1.67 acres is available separately for additional privacy, equestrian use or landscape/amenity extension.
Key positives are the large plot, approved change of use, quiet village location with good local schools and low crime. Key drawbacks are the delivery risk and cost of connecting utilities, the short three-year implementation window for the prior approval, and potential CIL liability. Buyers should review the decision notice, obtain up-to-date connection quotes and inspect titles before offering.
