The Street, Raydon, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP7

Planning permission has been granted for a detached two-storey home extending to approximately 1,560 sq ft, set within an attractive plot in the sought-after Suffolk village of Raydon. The proposed dwelling will enjoy open countryside views to the rear and has been carefully designed to sit comfortably within the character of the surrounding street.

The approved layout includes two spacious bedrooms on the first floor, one benefitting from an en-suite shower room, together with a well-proportioned family bathroom. At ground floor level, the design allows for generous open-plan living areas, in addition to a home office and a separate sitting room.

This appealing plot offers buyers the chance to create a bespoke home while working within an existing, well-considered planning approval. Site visits are available by prior arrangement.

SERVICES

Connections are available for mains water, electricity and drainage, with a choice of multiple broadband providers. There is no mains gas supply to the village; however, purchasers may select their preferred heating system, including oil-fired, LPG or air-source heating.

PLANNING DETAILS

Planning reference: DC/24/05290

Full documentation can be accessed via the Babergh Mid Suffolk District Council planning website or by contacting the selling agents.

The consent has been granted in accordance with Section 1(A1) of the Self-Build and Custom House Building Act 2015, which requires the completed property to be occupied by the plot purchaser for a specified period. This condition does not restrict the buyer from appointing a third-party contractor to undertake the build.

BUILD PROGRAMME

Construction must commence within six months of legal completion and reach practical completion within thirty months thereafter, in line with the vendors’ requirements.

BOUNDARY TREATMENTS

Plot boundaries are identified on site, including the access from The Street, which is marked by white-capped posts.

The vendors will install fencing between exchange and completion as follows:

Rear boundary: Post and rail fencing incorporating stock-proof wire mesh

Western boundary (adjoining The Green): Six-foot close-board fencing from front to rear

LOCATION – RAYDON
