Exton Farm redevelopment – conversion to 10 homes

Exton Farm sits on the edge of the village and includes a Grade II* listed farmhouse together with a group of traditional and later agricultural buildings. The farmhouse itself is of high historic significance and is not part of the residential conversion scheme.

Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for the redevelopment of the farm buildings. The approved scheme involves:

• Conversion of the historic brick barns (curtilage listed structures associated with the Grade II* farmhouse) into three dwellings
• Demolition of more modern agricultural buildings
• Construction of seven new homes on the site of the demolished buildings

This creates a total of 10 residential units, arranged around courtyard spaces that reflect the historic farmstead layout. Access is taken from Mill Lane, with associated parking, landscaping and drainage works.

The original planning permission (reference 19/2132/MFUL) remains extant. Listed building consent has required updating because earlier consents expired, and further applications have been submitted to discharge conditions and make minor variations, including updates to the ecological mitigation strategy. 3West Group is the developer progressing the scheme.

While more limited in scale than the larger proposals on the adjoining fields, this development still introduces additional homes and traffic onto Mill Lane. It forms part of the wider pattern of development pressure in this part of Exton and should be considered alongside the much larger allocation and proposals on Land north and east of Exton Farm.
