Detailed Description

PLANNING PERMISSION
The plots are to be sold with outline planning permission granted by the LPA under application no. 23/02752/OUT. Please note a Section 73 application under no: 24/02169/S73 has been submitted to remove Planning condition 13 (restriction of internal space and garaging of each individual dwelling). The LPA have confirmed a resolution to grant permission for the removal of condition 13 with the formal decision notice currently awaited.

A further condition of the planning consent restricts the occupation to selfbuild or custom builds only. Buyers will be required to be registered with the South Cambridgeshire Council Self Build and Custom Build Register and to comply with the terms of the registration. These are not particularly onerous however it should be noted the original buyer will be required to occupy the property for a period of 3 years following first occupation.

Further information can be found at - Self-build and custom-build property register The pre-commencement conditions attached to the outline planning consent have been submitted by the seller. Discharge notices are currently awaited.

The submission of the Reserved Matters application dealing with the design and details of the individual plots informed by the Design Code will be the obligation of each purchaser and only to be submitted following exchange of unconditional contracts.
