Planning

Interested parties should make their own planning enquiries and satisfy themselves. However, planning application has been applied for 3 additional units in the roof area and is waiting approval. This is under reference number FP/169/24/PL. (This has subsequently been withdrawn, this is not due to the fact that the planning authority were not prepared to grant it but on the basis that they required a bat survey that cannot be done till May. On that basis our clients confirmed via their architect that it would be preferrable to withdraw it and put it back on once the bat survey has been done in this regard.)

We have copies of all the planning consents regarding the attic flats if you require any information.

All of the flats are now let on assured shorthold tenancies and we list below each individual flat and when they have been let from. The current total gross income is £77,700 per annum.
