It could be converted into homes
According to Historic England, the farm likely dates back to 1784 before being altered and extended by the Leeds architect John Clarke in 1847. They describe it as being "designed to impress". However, the farm has say unused for decades and is beginning to decay. Now, its current owners who bought the site in 2021, want to convert the farm into housing.
The application was submitted by Mrs Alison and Mr Kevin Roberts of LTDesign . They hope to turn the farm into three homes. "We would like to invest in sympathetically developing Acacia Farm for residential purposes and in doing so protect the vernacular of the site, in particular improving and safeguarding the listed buildings and their setting. The proposal is for 3 dwellings.
A Heritage Report attached to the application by Humble Heritage also details why the development is necessary. According to this report, the buildings have survived well and the site is a local landmark due to its high altitude and easy visibility.
