PLANNING
Planning policy in this area is covered by the Scottish Borders Local Plan 2024 which was formerly adopted by Scottish Borders Council on 22 August 2024.

According to the Scottish Borders Council online Planning Portal the property has full planning permission granted under the reference 16/00012/RREF following a successful appeal.

Situated within the Denholm Development Boundary, this prime plot comes with full Planning Permission for two beautifully designed, semi detached homes.

Set on the lower portion of Manse Field, each home boasts an impressive floor area of approximately 330 sqm, providing spacious and stylish living. The upper half of the field will be preserved as open space, ensuring a sense of privacy and connection to the countryside.

PLANNING CONTINUED
Prospective buyers may wish to amend the existing planning permission for two semi-detached units to allow for a single dwelling, depending on their preferences and requirements. This could provide greater flexibility in design, enabling a more spacious layout, enhanced privacy, and a larger garden or outdoor area. Any such amendment will require submitting a new planning application or a variation to the existing consent, subject to approval by the local planning authority. Buyers are advised to seek professional guidance to ensure compliance with planning regulations and to assess the feasibility of their proposed changes.
