Description

Planning
There is potential for alternative uses and redevelopment (STP). Planning permission was granted in April 2015 to construct stables to include 6 boxes and tack room/store, a haybarn building, a muck store and creation of a Menage (ref 15/00455/app-14 April 2015). This planning permission was not implemented and has now lapsed but demonstrates precedent for such uses
Buyers are advised to satisfy themselves as to potential alternative uses.
Tenure & Possession
The Property is offered freehold with vacant possession granted upon completion.
Services
There are no services connected to the Property.

Overage
The land is to be sold subject to an overage of 20% of the enhanced value over and above the current use value of the land as the result of the grant of any relevant planning permission for residential or commercial redevelopment, for a term of 25 years from the date of completion.
