Situated in the highly sought-after village of Long Bennington, this excellent building plot extends to approximately 0.37 acres and presents a fantastic opportunity for either a developer or of particular interest to an individual self builder looking to create a bespoke home in a desirable village setting.

Interested parties will note that there is a requirement to provide a habitat management and monitoring plan in accordance with an approved Bio Diversity Net Gain (BNG) Plan, we understand that this is not relevant to self builders. Applicants will need to make their own enquires on this and any other planning and legal matters.
