Green light given for rural redevelopment in Peak District village

Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of The Beeches, a former farmhouse complex in Bradbourne, Derbyshire.

The scheme includes the creation of four new dwellings through the conversion and reconstruction of existing barns, alongside the replacement of the original farmhouse with a bespoke new home.

Working in collaboration with Planning & Design Practice, who led the planning strategy, Matthew Montague Architects has developed a design that blends traditional rural architecture with contemporary living.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into a rural site with deep heritage,” said Paul Myers, architect at Matthew Montague Architects.

“Our approach balances tradition and modernity—preserving what’s important while allowing the buildings to serve a new purpose. It’s great to see The Beeches move forward as a model of sensitive rural regeneration.”
