The site comprises a former special education and training facility known as Boughton Mount. The facility has been closed since 2009, and has since fallen in to disrepair. The buildings associated with the previous use are in poor condition and unsuitable for re-use.
The site is split in to two respective parts, with the north half of the site accommodating the built form and the southern half a heavily wooded area. Historically the site accommodated a former mansion called Boughton Mount which we understand was destroyed in a fire. The grounds still contain evidence of this past, with the walled gardens on the east and the Grade II Listed Ha Ha and Folly.
The information in the data room includes a historical feasibility document that provides further detail and context to the buildings on site as well as the former mansion

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
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
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
