Description
'The Bungalow' presents as a prime opportunity to upgrade or entirely redevelop a detached stand-alone bungalow set within a generous 0.28 acre plot. The property occupies an outstanding position with panoramic views across the surrounding adjoining Cotswold countryside, located on the edge of the peaceful village of Easton Grey.
The bungalow is in a poor state of repair and requires renovation. Furthermore, the property also has great potential to be demolished and may have the opportunity for a replacement dwelling constructed in its place, subject to any formal planning consent by Wiltshire Council.
The sellers sought the opinion of LPC (Trull) Ltd Planning Consultants, towards its viability for a replacement dwelling and a copy of this report is available on request. Within the report the following statement has been provided: The Spatial Strategy of the Local Plan (Core Policies 1 and 2) outlines a presumption in favour of sustainable development within the Principal Settlements, Market Towns, Local Service Centres and Large Villages and development should be restricted to within the Limits of Development other than in exceptional circumstances as set out within the relevant core policies contained within the plan, i.e. the ‘exception policies’. However, saved Policy H4 of the former NWLP provides support for the replacement of existing dwellings in the countryside, subject to the residential rights not being abandoned and replacement dwelling being of a similar size and scale to the existing dwelling within the same curtilage.
Any prospective buyers should make their own enquiries to the relevant planning authority (Wiltshire Council), prior to submitting any offer if they wish to seek a replacement dwelling.
