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.
Note: The vendors are to remain in their adjacent retained residential property and are therefore keen to assist/work with the purchaser to enable to scheme to developed in a mutually agreeable way.
PLANNING & TECHNICAL Somerset Council granted outline planning permission with some matters reserved for demolition of existing kennel and cattery buildings and erection of 4 no. dwelling houses with access thereto, under application 22/02190/OUT dated 01 September 2023. Somerset Council is a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging authority. There is a range of existing buildings to be demolished and so exemptions or relief may be applicable. We are not aware that a Section 106 Agreement will be applicable in this instance. Some services information is available however interested parties will need to rely on their own enquiries.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 3, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
