Planning Permission
The vendor of the property obtained planning permission in June 2009 to demolish outbuildings and replace with garages, workshop, swimming pool building and store and to create an underground link between the house and pool building. The garages and workshop were built however the remainder of the works were not and therefore gives a potential buyer an exciting opportunity to conduct further works. Application Reference Number: N/09/00275/lbc – later amendments have been made to conditions set out in the original consent and it is therefore the responsibility of prospective purchasers to make
their own enquiries with the local authority in matters relating to the original consent and later amendments.
