Property Details
Notes to purchaser
The planning permission limits the plot to a self-build single dwelling. In accordance with the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (as amended).
As a self-build dwelling under this Act, the self-build purchaser will not be required to meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and will be eligible for an exemption from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
The purchaser may be able to amend the house design should they wish but a new planning application may be required at their expense and any redesigns would be subject to the seller's approval given they own and live in the house which currently forms part of the plot.
Non self-build developers should bear in mind that a new planning application will be required to re-word the approval, this will require a Full Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessment, and implementation, they will also be responsible to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contributions.
Purchasers will be required to complete the build within 3 years of purchase.
The owners of the existing dwelling intend to finish the hardstanding areas to the front of their property on completion of sale. This will include establishing the boundary to their left, likely to be a combination of fencing and Laurel hedging. They have already established the rear boundary which comprises a Laurel hedge and a post and rail fence to separate the plot and their dwelling - this is intended to provide a decent evergreen screen between the two properties as it establishes over the coming years.
Whilst purchasers should make their own enquiries, it should be noted that a provisional plan to remove the overhead electric lines and put them under-ground (including cabling to accommodate the new dwelling) has been provisionally agreed with National Grid, pending the sale of the plot. This agreement in principle provides cabling to the new dwelling at no cost to the owner on the proviso they dig and back-fill the trench. There is no gas in the village. Mains water and sewage available for connection.
Purchasers should be aware that 3D models used are for illustrative purposes only.
Please note that the plot is owned by an employee at Cooper Green Pooks.
