Description
Planning permission was granted by Mid Suffolk District Council on 30th September 2022 for the change of use and conversion (including extension) of traditional farm buildings to create three separate dwellings –  Reference DC/22/03270.  This barn conversion is referred to as Plot 2, and forms part of a development of just four plots; a new build and three conversions, which are all under construction.  A copy of the planning permission for the barn conversions, together with extracts of the consented plans, is included within these particulars.

The planning permission provides for the creation of an impressive, contemporary designed single storey barn conversion that extends to nearly 1,200 square feet (111 sqm) in all.  The proposed accommodation comprises an entrance hall, open plan kitchen/dining room that links through to the living room with doors opening onto the patio and rear garden.  In addition there is a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms, a bathroom and utility room.

Outside the property will be approached via a private driveway that will be shared with the neighbouring barn conversion and new build property, and this leads to a generous courtyard parking and turning area immediately beside the property.   To the rear of the plot there will be a substantial garden, backing onto open agricultural land, and this area can also be accessed via a right of way via the track beside and to the rear of Plot 1.  

The drawings that accompanied the planning permission provide for roof coverings of clay pantiles together with elevations comprising the existing red brick walling and black weatherboarding.  The windows and doors are proposed to be in dark grey aluminium.  

Construction Works To Date
The developer of the site has decided to offer Plot 2 in a part converted state, allowing an incoming purchaser to complete the project to their own taste and specification.  The building contractor, LT Contractors, are undertaking the works to Plots 3 and 4, and they would be pleased to discuss costings to finish Plot 2 to a purchaser’s own specification – www.ltcontractors.co.uk. 

The considerable works completed to date comprise the following: 

1. Repair and/or replacement of any external walls and cladding
2. Installation of structural steel works to support the new roof structure and covering with reclaimed pantiles
3. Installation of a new concrete floor throughout
4. Installation of internal dividing walls (that provide structural integrity)
5. New living room extension
6. Foul drainage to a new treatment plant and surface water drainage.  

In addition, new independent electricity and water supplies will be brought to the edge of the site being sold.   

The purchaser of Plot 1 is obliged to construct the boundary wall/fence between Plots 1 and 2, but it will be the responsibility of the purchaser of Plot 2 to erect their own boundary wall/fences along the western and northern boundaries together with any walling around the courtyard. 

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
We are advised that there is no CIL liability on any of the barn conversions. 

Proposed Service Charge
The development, as a whole, will benefit from a shared access road together with communal land to the front of the site.  The purchaser of this plot will be required to pay 25% towards the maintenance and upkeep of the shared access road and any communal areas. 

Services  
The vendor is arranging for new independent electricity and water supplies to be installed to the edge of the plot.   Drainage will be to a new private treatment plant that the vendor has already installed.  

Viewing 
As the plot forms part of a development site, viewing is strictly by prior appointment with the agent.
