Foreword

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional rural development site with a paddock on the edge of the village of Breedon on the Hill.
The site benefits from full planning consent (excluding building regulations) for one detached three bedroom dwelling with adjoining loose box and cart hovel, being ideal for equestrian, amenity or smallholder use (subject to any necessary planning consents). For the avoidance of doubt there is no agricultural tie on this property.
The site extends to approximately 1.2 acres or thereabouts comprising; a former allotment, grass paddock and range of dilapidated buildings. As part of the planning consent the existing buildings are to be demolished and a new dwelling, loose box and cart hovel erected.
The site is situated on the edge of Breedon-on-the-Hill conservation area and has views to open countryside to the west.

Location

Breedon-on-the-Hill is a picturesque village with an enormous sense of civic pride, benefiting from a thriving local community with two public houses, village shop, post office, butchers, and a reputable primary school / community centre and church. There is also a nearby golf course.

Planning Consent

The site currently consists of a number of small redundant traditional farm buildings and land extending in total to approximately 1.2 Acres. The site is accessed directly off Melbourne Lane.
The site is predominantly flat with a slight slope away from the buildings. The properties boarders are mainly hedgerow however there is an element of post and wire boundaries.
The property overlooks Breedon on the Hill and the particular spot has a very quaint feel due to the mature trees which boarder the site and the woodland and farmland which stretches up to the Church.
Village amenities are just a short walk from the head of the site.
The site benefits from full planning consent dated 14th July 2010, reference number 10/00268/FUL (The consent is valid for three years).
The consent includes permission for the demolition of the farm buildings and the erection of a two-storey dwelling with an attached loose box and cart hovel.
The gross internal area of the cottage is 114m (1226 sq ft). The loose box internal floor area is 12.2m (131 sq ft), and the cart hovel is 13.5m (145 sq ft).
The vendors enlisted Andrew Large Surveyors Ltd to gain the consent on their behalf. A photocopy of the permission, as well as a reduced copy of the site plan have been attached to this brochure.

Overage Clause

An overage clause has been put in place at a level of 50% over 25 years. The overage clause does not affect the current planning consent. The overage clause only comes in to effect if there is a planning consent for more than 1 dwelling on site or if a commercial consent is granted at the subject property.
For the avoidance of doubt should the footprint of the existing house increase this would not trigger the overage clause.
