Loscoe Lane, Ackton, Pontefract, WF7

DESCRIPTION
The site is formed of a variety of existing agricultural buildings formerly used for livestock, inclusive of various barns, smaller brick-built units, and a stable. The buildings are set onto a predominantly flat site, with an accessway off Loscoe Lane (B6134). The land including the buildings amounts to approximately 0.22 hectares/0.55 acres.

The development permitted at the site is for the construction of a total of six townhouses across two terraced blocks, formed from the demolition of the stable block toward the southern edge and the conversion of the most northward barn under Class Q consent both creating a block of three dwellings.
