EXCITING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY! A building plot extending to over two thirds of an acre (0.69 acres / 0.28 ha approximately) with planning permission passed for four significant four bedroom houses arranged around an attractive courtyard setting. This site is situated between Sherborne and Wincanton on the Somerset / Dorset borders and enjoys countryside on the doorstep as well as being a short drive to both towns. The proposed development among other things requires the demolition of all the existing kennel and cattery buildings, widening the existing shared access and forming a boundary (specification to be agreed with the vendors) between the site and the vendors retained residential property. Overhead power lines crossing the site are proposed to be re-sited underground. The vendors will retain two car parking spaces opposite their retained property just west of the proposed site road junction with the shared access. Foul sewerage is proposed to be via a private treatment plant, surface water via soakaways. The site is subject to a no build zone along the east side of the site protected by a covenant, this area is shaded dark green on the Site Plan below.
