PLANNING
The plot is suitable for an executive 4-5 bed detached dwelling. Full planning permission has also been granted by Horsham District Council for the erection of 2no semi-detached two storey dwellings (ref DC/23/0555). Please note the following planning conditions which would be applied to any new consent for a 4-5 bed detached dwelling:

Condition 9 - Cycle parking/storage must be provided.
Condition 10 - Fibre optic broadband with a minimum speed of 30 Mbps must be provided.

CIL CONTRIBUTION

DEVELOPMENT
The plot is suitable for an executive 4-5 bed detached dwelling to be built adjacent to the existing end-terrace property. The detached dwelling would have a floor area (GIA) of 146m2. Alternatively, two new 2-3 bed semis could be built, each with a GIA of 73m2.

PARKING
The detached new-build would benefit from 2 dedicated off-street parking bays in a landscaped private parking court that has already been constructed. A Parking Survey has been undertaken which shows plenty of on-street parking availability (particularly on Timber Mill in close proximity to the site).

The successful plot purchaser will be required to undertake the following works to the existing property (and these works should be reflected/included in any auction bid for the development plot):

- The parking court must not be used by construction plant/machinery, and must not be used for materials/deliveries. A dedicated construction access has been implemented directly from Timber Mill.
- Two rainwater supply pipes (from the underground storage tank) must be provided into the retained end-terrace, however the Seller will make all necessary connections to comply with any approved Water Neutrality Strategy.
- Any damage to gardens/hardstandings caused by the construction works must be levelled and made good.
- Any damage to fencing/trellises caused by the construction works must be reinstated / made good.

SERVICES
Surface water drainage is available in the gap between 85 and the detached new-build. Roof drainage from 85's north-west downpipe, plus all roof drainage from the detached new-build will need to be harvested and stored in a 5,000 litre underground tank. Overflow from the tank will then run into the existing surface water sewer in front of number 85.

Mains water, electricity, gas and BT connections (including 55 Mbps fibre) are available from the footpath directly in front of number 85. An existing foul manhole (circa 1m deep) will allow a straightforward foul drainage connection to the rear of no. 85.
