Description
Planning permission was granted by Mid-Suffolk District Council under Reference DC/23/02839 on 20th November 2023.  Subsequently, the planning was revised to allow for an  amended internal layout and minor external  changes under reference DC/24/03145 on 10th September 2024.  Some of the associated plans are included within the particulars but further documents are available from the Mid Suffolk District Council planning website.  The planning allows for the conversion of the barn to form a single dwelling.  In all, the barn, along with the drive (upon which the neighbouring two dwellings have a right of way), extends to 3.1 acres.  The vendors have made a material start. The site has been excavated to the required level, the footings have been excavated and poured with concrete.  The structure has been underpinned in accordance with structural engineers requirements.  Structural engineers drawing/calculations and building regulations have been submitted to Building Control.  Inspections have been completed of the underpinning and footings by both Building Control and CML approved surveyor.  The building regulation plans have been submitted/paid for with inspections of the works undertaken so far being carried out.  The vendors have connected electricity and water to the site and have installed the ducts for the installation of broadband. 

Services    
Electricity and water have been installed along with a duct for fibre broadband with a drawstring in place.  A buyer will also wish to install a new sewage treatment plant.  
      
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Mid Suffolk Council’s Infrastructure Team have confirmed that the CIL liability is £0.  A copy of the CIL liability notice is available from the agent.  Should any CIL payments become payable, they will be the buyer’s responsibility.

Section 106 Agreement  
Mid Suffolk District Council and the vendors have entered into a Section 106 deed in relation to an off-site affordable housing contribution.  The amount payable was £26,577 and the vendor paid this upon commencement of the build works.   It will therefore not be necessary for any new owner to pay this.
