acres (0.26 hectares) and comprises a grassed field bounded by hedges on all sides. The topography of the property is broadly

PLANNING AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The local planning authority is South Oxfordshire District Council.

The property benefits from a permission in principle for residential development comprising a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 dwellings in accordance with the terms of the application Ref P25/S1133/PIP. Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) advises that this is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development. The permission in principle consent route has 2 stages: the first stage (or permission in principle stage) establishes whether a site is suitable in-principle and the second (‘technical details consent’) stage is when the detailed development proposals are assessed. This permission in principle has been granted at appeal and relates to the first of these 2 stages. Further details can be found on the Appeal Decision. The proposed site plan and proposed site elevation have been classed by the Appeal Inspector as being for illustrative purposes only. This applies to all imagery contained within our marketing.

REGISTERED TITLE

The property is registered with the Land Registry under three titles:
