DESCRIPTION

The site extends in all to approximately 3.24 acres (1.31 hectares) and comprises an existing traditional barn and cart lodge and grassland currently in agricultural use. The site is shown edged red and excludes the farmhouse area encircled blue on the aerial image.

PLANNING

The property falls under the jurisdiction of Breckland Council and is situated within the village Conservation Area. The barn and land benefit from Full Planning Permission for conversion of the barn to a single dwelling and the erection of four new dwellings, associated infrastructure and landscaping under reference PL/2025/0094/FMIN. The design has been thoughtfully prepared so as to preserve the historic attributes of the existing barn and replicate a sympathetic farmstead development of generous family homes. There is no requirement for affordable housing. Full details are available on the Council Planning Portal on their website. Prospective buyers should undertake a thorough examination of these documents. The permission allows for the development of the following new
dwellings;

Plot 1 - New Build - Four bed link attached 'farmstead' style house (approx 2091 sq/ft)
Plot 2 - New Build - Four bed attached 'farmstead' style house (approx 1848 sq/ft)
Plot 3 - New Build - Four bed link attached 'farmstead' style house (approx 2236 sq/ft)
Plot 4 - New Build - Four bed detached barn conversion style (approx 2145 sq/ft)
Plot 5 - Detached three bed barn conversion (approx 1660 sq/ft)

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY & ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION
There will be no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) due in connection with the development. Nutrient Neutrality Credits have been purchased from Wendling Beck by the Seller and allocated to the development. This is accompanied by a Section 106 Agreement with the Council to ensure the mitigation is legally secured and enforceable. The benefit of the nutrient mitigation arrangements and associated S.106 agreement will pass with the site to the Buyer as part of the sale.
