Retail property (high street)

The property is situated in Braintree high street and was formerly an office building. Planning Permission was granted for conversion of the upper floors into two one-bedroom self-contained flats and, while the work has been started, it needs to be finished. The ground floor still remains as office space with stairs at the side of the building going up to a communal landing with
one flat to the rear and a split-level flat to the front.

Planning
Planning Permission has been granted by Braintree District Council under reference 23/00592/VAR as a variation to the approved application reference 22/00809/FUL granted on the 21st June 2022 for the conversion of upper floors to two, one-bedroom flats, installation of dormer window to the front elevation and alterations to fenestration, subject to conditions.

The variation would allow for an amendment to shop street entrance to ensure that there is no longer a large covered area that could be misused.

A copy of the Planning Permission and accompanying documentation can be downloaded from the Braintree District Council website – Braintree.gov.uk. [use Contact Agent Button].
