DISPUTES

Should any dispute arise as to the boundaries or any point arising in these particulars, schedule, plans or interpretation of any of them the question shall be referred to the arbitration of the Selling Agent, whose decision acting as expert shall be final. The buyer shall be deemed to have full knowledge of all boundaries and neither the seller nor the seller's agents will be responsible for defining the boundaries or the ownership thereof.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Viewers should be careful and vigilant whilst on the site of which part is an operational metal recycling plant. Access is available by appointment. Neither the seller nor the selling agents are responsible for the safety of those viewing the property without accompaniment and accordingly those viewing the property do so at their own risk.

Terms

The site benefits from outline planning permission for up to 75 dwellings granted on the 7th April 2017 from Breckland District Council under reference 3PL/2016/0648/O. All other matters are reserved.

The proposed net density amounts to 25 dwellings per hectare including the existing four dwellings. The concept is for a single point of vehicular access, integration of walking and cycle links, public open space and a variety of housing types, sizes and tenure.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The current proportion of affordable housing proposed is consistent with Breckland Council's affordable housing policyat 40%. The mix is 65% rented and 35% intermediate housing. The Local Authority has previously discussed viability, although the Valuation Office on their behalf confirmed 40% to be appropriate.

The owners are currently undertaking detailed intrusive contamination and ground surveys with which to enter more informed discussions and we hope to identify a preferred bidder to engage with the process to add value and work up a detailed scheme.

Although the principle bid should be in accordance with the permission, to assist with the decision it would be helpful to receive alternative bids at various revised levels of affordable housing; assuming 30%, 20% and 10%.
