Property Summary – 0.67 Acre Development Opportunity

Planning Status: Potential for development (subject to planning permission)

Key Highlights: Green Belt Assessment Completed: A comprehensive Green Belt assessment has been undertaken, which concludes that the site does not meet the five key purposes of Green Belt designation, supporting its suitability for potential release as "grey belt" land.

Heritage Approval: Heritage authorities have confirmed no impact on the nearby Grade II listed farmhouse, even for a previously proposed 40m x 20m warehouse structure (over 6m to eaves height)—indicating that a residential or similarly scaled development would be equally acceptable.

Highways Support: Highways authorities raised no objection to the proposed level of traffic, including staff comings and goings as well as HGV access, indicating good logistical feasibility.

Ecology Surveys Cleared: Detailed ecology reports confirm no significant impact on wildlife. Recommendations such as the installation of bat boxes have been positively received and supported.

No Flood Risk: The site is not located in a flood risk zone, removing a major constraint to development.

No Legal Constraints: There are no covenants or clawback provisions affecting the land, providing a clean and flexible title for prospective buyers or developers.

Development Potential: The plot offers excellent prospects for residential development, supported by existing assessments and favourable responses from key consultees. Further planning applications would be strengthened by the groundwork already completed.
