This plot on Mildenhall Road is offered with implemented planning consent for two detached three-bedroom houses (each about 1,130 sq ft). Outline and reserved matters consents were approved in 2012–2013 and piling has been completed, so the consent remains live in perpetuity — a material time and cost saving for a builder or developer.
The site extends to approximately 0.12 hectares and includes space for driveways with two parking spaces per dwelling and generous gardens. The proposals show traditional two-storey homes with bay windows and standard ceiling heights, suited to family occupation or sale to owner-occupiers. The tenure is freehold and flood risk is low.
Notable constraints: the wider area is classified as rural and relatively deprived, local crime levels are high, and broadband speeds are very slow. Mobile signal is average. Planning conditions relating to flood resilience, bats, contamination and ditch crossing were discharged in 2013. The existing cottages will require demolition as part of the consented scheme (consent assumed in the planning history). Buyers should allow for local infrastructure and marketability implications of the rural location.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for a small-scale developer, builder or investor who wants a consented, implemented site with reduced planning risk. Expect to factor in costs for demolition, onsite construction, utilities upgrades and marketing in a rural / lower-demand neighbourhood.
