Shootash

Outstanding rural development opportunity with current planning consent for 3 Class Q conversions and the potential for further development STPP

Description - Shootash Poultry Farm offers an excellent opportunity for residential development, with potential for further development STPP. Consent has been granted for the poultry sheds to be converted into three dwellings under the Class Q policy. The planning allows for two of the sheds to be converted into a set of semi-detached properties with 3 bedrooms each and a detached property with 5 bedrooms. The site has a further building which has been used for agricultural purposes which does not currently benefit from planning consent, however there is potential for the site to be expanded, STPP. The Site is accessed directly from the public highways along its own access, with a largely self-contained, level and private site with views overlooking open countryside to the north. These former poultry barns are no longer used for agricultural purposes but have fantastic potential to be built out into an attractive and exclusive courtyard of dwellings.
