Planning Planning consent was granted on 31st August 2016 by Ashford Borough Council under Planning Reference 16/01038/AS for change of use of the oast house from agricultural to a dwelling. A condition of this consent is that two of the nearby agricultural buildings (the cattle Yard and the Hay Barn/Machinery Shed) are demolished and removed from the site. It is felt that one or two of the other buildings, particularly the traditional barn, have potential for conversion to residential or alternative use (subject to planning). Interested parties must direct their planning enquires direct to the Planning Department at Ashford Borough Council on 01233 373311 (ashford.gov.uk).
