Public Car Park: The Property extends to approx. 6.01 acres (2.43 Ha) bare water meadows land on the eastern bank of the River Meon. The water meadows are comprised of marshy grassland, up to two thirds of which floods seasonally (Flood Zone 3). The parcel is located on the lower floodplain of the river Meon. Much of the land is typically under water for the winter months.

LAND REGISTRY: The Property comprises the entirety of Land Registry Title HP844188. See Plan and Register on Selling Agent's website.

RIGHT OF WAY: The Property benefits from a right of way across neighbouring pasture land 'at all times and for all purposes with or without vehicles' over a strip 3m in width between positions A and B and shaded brown on the Site Plan.

PROPERTY BOUNDARIES: Inside the northern boundary there is a post and wire fence between positions B and E on the Site Plan.

The drainage channel along the eastern boundary forms part of the Property (see Title Plan).

The drainage channel immediately to the north of the post and wire fence between B and E forms part of the Property (see Title Plan).

RIVER MEON: The Property has approx. 300m of direct frontage along the river which is an important chalk stream valued for its wildlife.

FISHING RIGHTS: A previous owner has reserved the right to fish along approx. 70m of the bank along the River Meon between positions B and F on the Site Plan. Access on foot only across 2m of the river bank adjoining the river. This detailed in the Transfer dated 21st February 2020 available on the Selling Agent's website. All other Fishing Rights are in-hand and available to a Purchaser.

SPORTING RIGHTS: No other party holds these rights across any part of the Property. They are in-hand.

NITRATE MITIGATION SCHEME: The Property achieved Planning Consent for a Wetland system for Nitrate Mitigation in 2022 (P/20/1353/FP - 27th July 2022). Effectively this was to utilise the seasonal breach of the river at point C on the Site Plan which flows and cuts the corner of the bend around the western perimeter of the land, and then re-enters the river at the southern end at point D on the Site Plan. The proposed scheme was for the establishment of a Reed bed habitat across part of the land which would have the effect of extracting Nitrates from the water prior to it returning to main river and entering The Solent downstream. See the Proposed Surface Flow Wetland Layout Plan on the Selling Agent's website.

Predicted Nitrate Reduction from a scheme has been estimated in the order of 1,765kg per annum. There will be additional units caused by taking the land out of agricultural production.

The Vendors were unable to implement the scheme (for various reasons of their own) and so that Consent will expire in July 2025. There is the opportunity for a Purchaser to re-apply utilising much of the existing application material when a new 3-year period will be achieved.

If any party is interested in reviewing the documents that formed part of the Planning Application process then visit Fareham Borough Council Planning Portal. Planning Ref: P/20/1353/FP.

If you contact the Selling Agent they can send you much documentation on the Nitrate Mitigation Scheme to consider electronically.

BIODIVERSITY NET GAIN (BNG): If a Wetland Nitrate Mitigation is implemented, it is understood that 3.96 biodiversity units will be produced.

WAYLEAVES AND EASEMENTS: A Southern Water sewer passes through the Property. See Plan available on Selling Agent's website. Overhead Electricity wires (2 x 33kv) cross the northern section of the Property.

NITRATE MITIGATION OVERAGE: The Vendors are mindful to reserve the right to receive a percentage of any future income, subject to negotiation, if a Wetland Nitrate Mitigation Scheme is implemented on the Property within 10 years.

OPTION: The Vendors are not interested to enter any Option on the Property (e.g. for renewal of the previous Wetland Nitrate Mitigation). They are only interested to sell the freehold property.

SERVICES: None connected.
