Planning
Babergh District Council granted outline planning permission on 28th June 2018 (reference number DC/18/01412). The approved scheme features two new detached houses on the site, namely a detached 3 bed house to the left hand side of the existing, and a detached 4 bed house to the right hand side of the existing, each with its own parking area and gardens. Full documents and plans can be seen on the Babergh District Council website www.babergh.gov.uk.
The property therefore offers purchasers the flexible option of extending the existing house (STP) or further developing the site as per the approved planning scheme.
