PL/11469 - Listed building consent (Alt/Ext) Under Consultation

Proposal

Installing an outside tap in the breeze block wall of the attached barn next to the EV charging point. The tap will connect through the breeze block wall from the existing water pipe in the attached barn. (see Appendix 1, photos 1 and 2; Appendix 2: floor plan, and Appendix 3: Elevations point 1). Reinstating the kitchen in the curved room at the front left of the house (currently a reception room). A hole through an internal wall will be required for water in and out for the sink and dishwasher (see Appendix 1: photos 3 and 4). This hole will be placed next to the existing radiator pipes to preserve the aesthetics of the room. The water out will connect to the nearest drain within the toilet block floor. This requires a shallow trench in the toilet block floor (has modern tiles) (see Appendix 1: photo 5 and Appendix 2: floor plan). This pipe work does not alter any of the front, side or rear elevation of the house, as it will connect to the toilet block drains Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Grade II listed: Glanbran Arms Inn including former barn range to left.
List entry 21397 · 2 m away
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Cadw ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Tywi
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. A site survey can differ.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

Checked on 9 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
