Derbyshire Longhouse
Shortlisted for the STA “Private Housing Project of the Year” 2023
Planning history for the site showed 26 previous residential planning applications for the farm – all of which had been refused. Jillian the architect told them that the only real route for them to get planning permission was to go through a special section of the planning regulations called ‘paragraph 79’ – it had to be a house of exceptional architectural quality that could only be built in the landscape surrounding it so it becomes part of the landscape. After 2 years of application approval was granted.
