The plot benefits from planning permission, for the erection of a new detached dwelling together with associated access arrangements (Planning Reference: 24/01702/FUL).

Location - The Ridge is one of the area’s most desirable roads, known for its individual homes, generous plots and semi rural feel.

Planning Details - Full planning details can be found on Chelmsford City Council planning portal using reference 24/01702/FUL.

Driveway - We understand the owner will construct a new driveway entrance, with works to be carried out in conjunction with the proposed purchaser, subject to agreement.

Biodiversity Net Gain (Bng) - Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a standard planning requirement for new developments, requiring at least a 10% improvement in biodiversity. For this plot, this is estimated at approximately 1.2 units, which can typically be achieved through a combination of on-site landscaping and/or the purchase of off-site biodiversity credits. This is dealt with via a Biodiversity Gain Plan approved prior to commencement of development, and buyers should allow for an additional cost as part of the build process.
