Accessible block of arable land with approval for a new building

Description

The property is now under offer with a sale agreed.

Extending to about 140.15 acres (56.71 hectares) total, the property benefits from prior approval for a 4,380 sq ft (407 sq. m) agricultural building to be erected in a private setting overlooking arable land and woodland.

Agricultural Building
Accessed from Copperkilns Lane, the proposed agricultural building extends to approximately 4,380 sq. ft. (407 sq. m.). Forming an L-shape with brick and timber weatherboarding on the side elevations, the proposed building has been designed to mimic a traditional farm building. The building would have a part clay pan tile and part corrugated tin roof, with varying eaves heights and gable end roofs over the doors of the northern elevation to enhance the traditional appearance to the building. Modern features would see roller shutter doors, flush fitting roof lights to each bay and solar PV panels to the south elevation.

In October 2021, Buckinghamshire Council decided under reference PL/21/3660/AGN that prior approval of agricultural or forestry development was not required for the development of the agricultural building, provided it is carried out in accordance with the accompanying plans and particulars. The access road and hardstanding have been completed, together with mains water and fibre broadband connected to the site.

Land
The majority of the land has been farmed under an arable rotation. There are two small fields of pasture and areas of newly planted trees. The land is well suited to modern agriculture, split into four large fields, bordered by mature hedgerows with good road access off Weedon Hill and
Copperkins Lane.
