Planning
Prior Approval, set out by Part 3, Class Q, of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, for the change of use of agricultural buildings to use class C3 for 4 small dwellings including building operations and partial demolition was granted under reference 3/23/1895/ARPN by East Herts District Council.
The consent provides for three 3-bedroom two-storey houses and one 2-bedroom single storey house with a total internal area of approximately 378m2 (4,067 ft2).
The decision notice from North Herts District Council along with the various plans, drawings and supporting documents are available in the Weldon Beesly Property Portal.

Overage
The title of which the property forms part, is subject to existing overage provisions. These overage provisions are being varied by agreement with the overage holder such that overage will only be triggered on the property in the event planning permission is secured for more than 425m2 of residential built development. Therefore, a planning application for the removal of the buildings with replacement new-built residential development (less than 425m2), for ancillary buildings or change of use to garden land will not trigger the revised overage provisions. For further information, please contact Weldon Beesly.

Services
Water and electricity are connected to the property. Other services may be available nearby subject to usual utility connection requirements.

Tenure and possession
Vacant possession on the barn will be available on completion.

Easements, covenants and rights of way
The property is sold subject to all existing wayleaves, easements, public or private rights of way, covenants and restrictions, whether stated in these particulars or not. There is a right of way along the entrance track and southern boundary of the property in favour of Minges Farmhouse. Please note the vendor will be transferring a small area (approximately 7m2) adjoining the boundary of the property to the owner of Minges Farmhouse when the property is sold. A right of way at all times and for all purposes will be granted to the purchaser(s) over the area shown hatched brown on the plan between the public highway and the property which will be subject to maintenance obligations according to use.

The purchaser(s) will be deemed to have full knowledge and satisfied themselves as to the provisions of any such matters affecting the Property.
