An outline planning consent has been granted for three detached houses and an 83sq.m. B1 office/ workshop, ancillary to plot 3. The outline plans indicate one large 4 bedroom house plus study, one large 3 bedroom house plus office and another large 3 bedroom house. We have been more conservative in our site appraisal, assuming three x 4 bedroom houses, but on a more cost-effective smaller scale. The site is in a quiet location at the edge of the village. The exact design and scale is to be determined in the detailed planning application.

The site is level and is approximately 00.16 ha, over one third of an acre. There are some disused buildings on site to be removed, some metal-sheeted structures. The access into the site is to be raised to 62.7 AOD (above ordinance datum). An F.R.A. has been completed, the siting of the housing and office being in the most beneficial zone 1. The site will have plenty of space for on-site parking and turning as well as gardens.
