Changes at historic farm site in Selston -- all the latest Ashfield planning applications
Proposed changes at a prominent and historic site in Selston are among the latest batch of planning applications received by Ashfield District Council.
Kirkby Park’s Farm, off Bourne Avenue and Park Lane and also close to the M1, dates back many years.
In recent times, it has been split into several dwellings, complete with extensive grounds, stables and grazing land, all accessed by a private driveway.
One of the dwellings, a detached family house known as The Cottage, is the location for the application.
Caron Clare, who lives there, has submitted a scheme for the conversion of a detached double garage/workshop into a two-storey annexe, “suitable for ageing close relatives and their carers where necessary”.
The conversion was granted full planning permission back in 2010. This has now expired, so the council’s planning officers are being asked to consider it again.
A planning statement explains that the annexe would “allow for a sense of independent living while being close to the family home”.
Most of the living quarters would be on the ground floor, with a first-floor lounge providing open views of the countryside next to the M1. A stairlift could be easily installed, while wheelchair access would be provided if necessary.

4 Douglas Road, Sutton – two-bedroom dwelling, with two car parking spaces.
