Planning consent
There is currently a Listed building consent to repair the garage, which is an old building and quotes are currently being gathered. Planning consent was granted in 2011 by Uttlesford District Council for a large three bedroom property of 176 sqm (1900 sq ft) in the rear garden beside the garage (ref UTT/2473/11/FUL).
Plans have also been drawn up and passed for an orangery running along the back of the house behind the hall and dining room. It is considered that this consent is still valid as it formed part of a consent for the Watts Yard access (the side lane).
