Description
AGRICULTURAL BUILDING & LAND FOR SALE WITH POTENTIAL FOR RESIDENTIAL CONVERSION
This is an exceptional opportunity for you to own 7 acres of land with an agricultural building in a popular area close to the Bucks / Oxon border.
The land is flat, with well-defined boundaries and is of good pasture.
There is an 11m x 7.2m agricultural building, sited on a concrete slab, towards the eastern part of the site that has been fenced off with a curtilage of approx. 2 acres. This agricultural building was granted permission in 2011.
Access to the site is via an excellent hard-surface track from a gated entrance off the Bicester Road.
The land is conveniently located between the vibrant and expanding towns of Bicester and Aylesbury, with easy access to local amenities.
The site makes an ideal smallholding, but there is also potential for residential conversion under Class Q permitted development - with over 100 such applications being granted approval by the council within the local area.
PLANNING
The land includes an 11m x 7.2m agricultural building sited on a concrete slab that was granted permission in 2011 under the planning application 11/01035/APP.
LAND DESIGNATION

PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT ON AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS
