Description

A single parcel of Grade I level pasture with access off Church Road and internal access to Lots 1 and 3. The land is bounded by drainage ditches with stockproof boundaries.

EIA Screening Decision

The land is offered with the benefit of a recent Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Decision which permits the undertaking of cultivation works, subject to conditions, enabling the land to be put into arable production if required. This decision is valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issue.
A copy of the EIA Screening Decision Notice is available upon request.

The land is predominantly Grade I on the Agricultural Land Classification Map for England and Wales with the soil being classified by the Cranfield Soil and AgriFood Institute as being of the Wallsea 2 Soil Series which is described as ‘Deep stoneless clayey soils. Calcareous in places. Some deep calcareous silty soils. Flat land often with low ridges giving a complex soil pattern. Groundwater controlled by ditches and pumps.’

Basic Payment Scheme

The land is eligible and registered to receive payments under the Basic Payment Scheme. Under the terms of the current Farm Business Tenancy the tenant is required to transfer the entitlements to the incoming occupier or landowner at the end of the tenancy and therefore Basic Payment Scheme Entitlements will be available to the purchaser/s from 1st September 2022.

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
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    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
