DESCRIPTION

The site forms part of Land Registry Title Number CB433749 and lies within the administrative boundary of South Cambridgeshire District Council. The parcel extends to approximately 0.4 acres (0.16 hectares) and comprises a large agricultural barn, area of hardstanding, and land left to grass. The parcel is broadly rectangular in shape and level in nature.

The northern boundary is defined by the access track leading from Green End. To the east, the site adjoins the shared driveway of two residential properties and the garden of a neighbouring dwelling. The southern boundary adjoins a wooded area within residential curtilage. The western edge borders land in active agricultural use, including areas of hardstanding and associated agricultural buildings.

The existing barn is a steel portal framed with brick block walls and cement-sheet cladding to the roof. The barn benefits from connection to mains electricity and mains water, supporting its historic agricultural use. The building sits within an area of hardstanding.

PLANNING

The site is located within the jurisdiction of South Cambridgeshire District Council and is situated within the Landbeach Conservation Area. The site does not benefit from any extant planning permission.

Previously, it formed part of a larger application alongside the two adjacent dwellings to the east, where the complete site was proposed to deliver five dwellings (reference: S/2430/19/FL). This application was later withdrawn, and a subsequent application for the two dwellings to, the east was submitted and approved. Those two dwellings have been developed independently of the subject site (reference: 20/03981/FUL).

EASEMENTS, WAYLEAVES & RIGHTS OF WAY

The site is offered subject to, and with the benefit or burden of all existing rights of way, wayleaves and easements whether or not specifically referred to in these particulars.
