Description
Class Q permitted development was granted by Mid Suffolk District Council under reference DC/23/02066 on 11th August 2023. Copies of the consent are available within these particulars. Some of the associated plans are included within the details but further documents and plans are available from the Mid Suffolk District Council planning website. The planning allows for the conversion/change of use of the agricultural building to a dwelling house. The consented plans show a dwelling of approximately 300m² (3,200 sq feet) which will be laid out over 2 floors. It is understood that the conversion must be completed within three years of the date of consent.
A sale plan is included within the particulars. The area outlined in red is what is to be sold. However, the consented area is for the barn/parking area outlined in blue. Should a buyer wish to apply for planning permission to use the land outside the blue area as domestic garden rather than agricultural land, this will be their responsibility, post purchase.
