About this property
A secluded building plot with planning permission for a three-bedroom detached house set in a semi-rural location adjoining farmland to the rear
Set within the grounds of a Georgian house, the site extends to some 809 sq.m (0.2 acres) on broadly level ground. An existing rudimentary barn of timber and block construction is to be demolished, to allow for a replacement residential dwelling, with independent access onto the adopted highway (Duke Street).
Following a successful planning appeal decision, the site has been granted permission for a detached, 1.5 storey dwelling covering some 163sq.m (1,754sq.ft) comprising: Entrance hall and inner hall, open-plan kitchen / dining / living room, utility room, ground floor bedroom, shower room, two further double bedrooms, south facing balcony and a bathroom.
The appealing open plan layout of the proposal caters for modern living, where farmland views will be enjoyed on both floors from the entire western aspect. This includes the glazed gable end to the master bedroom with balcony.
Much emphasis has been made to the eco credentials and sustainability of the proposal, which includes high thermal insulation and passivhaus airtightness, low energy use, and heating via an Air Source Heat pump and Solar pv. The demand on the heating systems will be negligible, which is reflected in the Energy Performance Rating and Environmental Impact assessments (both high A rating).
Externally the proposal expresses a traditional barn design, with natural materials which includes lime render and part larch timber cladding under a pitched zinc roof.
Planning permission was granted on the 17th October 2022, which accompanies a subsequent certificate of lawful development. The planning notice with 13 further conditions, supporting documentation and associated plans are available via the Babergh & Mid Suffolk’s District Council planning portal () under reference DC/21/05755. Reference DC/23/05152 provides details of the certificate of lawful development.
Purchasers’ Obligations and Considerations
The discharge of all planning conditions and any unilateral undertakings.
Connection to services
The adopted highway to the west (Duke Street) provides seemingly straightforward connections to mains water, foul drainage and electricity.
Cil Liability
For self-builders, cil is exempt, but occupiers must remain in residence for a period of 3 years from completion.
Flooding
The site is located in flood zone one, and thus the probability of flooding is low.
Agents Note
The neighbouring development (DC/21/05992) will not overlook the proposal or obscure the westerly view.
