GREAT POTENTIAL
A great RE-DEVELOPMENT project or a potential BUILDING PLOT in a delightful semi rural location. Site of approx. HALF AN ACRE currently with a 3 bed detached house (needing renovation) plus garage.

Introduction - A great redevelopment opportunity or more likely a potential building plot in a delightful semi rural location. The site extends to approximately 0.47 acres, currently housing a three bed detached property believed to have been built around 1926 which has fallen into some disrepair in recent times. In the agents opinion, given the age and condition of the dwelling, coupled with the size of the plot, it is ideal as a redevelopment/extension project or demolition and rebuilding of a modern spec. house, subject to necessary consents. Overall, the site is close to half an acre with a frontage to New Village Road of approximately 27.6 metres (90 feet). The detached two storey house, if to be retained, requires modernisation/renovation and possible extension but does have uPVC double glazing and a recently installed air source heat pump to a wet radiator system. The accommodation is depicted on the attached floorplan and there is also a detached garage. The grounds are predominantly lawned/grassed and at the far end include a number of fruit trees. The property occupies an attractive position part way up New Village Road, a private lane on the whole characterised by individual detached properties. To one side of the site is an open grassed field which contributes to creating a lovely semi rural environment.

Additional Information - The property is not within a conservation area and New Village Road itself is generally characterised by dwellings on larger than average plots. To the east side of the property is an open grassed field and to the north, the now substantially filled railway cutting of the old Hull and Barnsley railway line borders the site.

New Village Road is a private lane cul-de-sac of around 30-35 properties which is maintained by the frontagers who traditionally have contributed on a 'per house' basis over the years to improve and maintain the road which is now tarmaced to a good standard. The area has a generally open feel, providing generous plot sizes to the houses fronting the road.

Air Source Heat Pump - The wet radiator heating system powered by the Airsource heat pump includes fitted thermostatic valves to the radiators and it is understood that significant insulation levels have been added to the loft space.
The Air Source Heat Pump was installed with the aid of a grant, part of which would be repayable in the event of the house being demolished for redevelopment within a specified period set out under the terms of the original grant. Should a purchaser wish to demolish the house, the Vendor will undertake to repay the outstanding balance, subject to safeguards provided by the purchaser of proof of a genuine proposal to demolish.

Town And Country Planning - The Local Plan governing development in the area is the East Riding Local Plan 2016 which is to be superseded by a Local Plan Review, which is currently awaiting the Planning Inspector's report, following an Examination in Public.

It is not anticipated that the policies in this area will significantly change form those contained within the 2016 Adopted Plan. The New Village Road area is shown as outside the Settlement Limit of Little Weighton and development/re-development is therefore currently governed by policies relating to areas of open countryside.

Policy S4, entitled "Supporting Development in Villages and the Countryside" , is contained within the East Riding Local Plan 2016 and an extract of Policy S4 is set out below under the heading "Countryside".

At number Section 2 of C, replacement dwellings are, as a matter of general policy, permitted where proposals respect the intrinsic character of their surroundings. Good design would therefore be important.

Paragraph 4.41 of the Adopted Local Plan states as follows:
"Replacement dwellings will be permitted in the Countryside where their design and character reflects the surrounding area and results in an increase of the usable floor area of the original building, normally by no more than 50% (ie. the original dwelling as built or as at 1st July 1948, as defined in the General Permitted Development Order). In certain circumstances, a new dwelling of exceptional quality or of truly outstanding innovative design may be supported in line with national planning policy."

Anyone wishing to consider purchase of the plot to re-develop should therefore take professional advice.

Development Uplift Clause - Whilst it is believed that re-development of the property would be limited to a replacement dwelling in planning terms, a "development uplift clause" will be placed on the sale "clawing back' 50% of any development value gain if any additional dwellings are permitted. (More than one on the site).

Services - The property is heated with an air source heat pump serving the radiators and it is believed it provides hot water. The property has mains electricity, water and foul drainage.

Tenure - Freehold Vacant Possession upon completion.
