The property benefits from planning consent (ref. 22/00651/FUL) granted in April 2024 for a new improved point of access and track to serve the farm buildings and yard. This consent has not yet been implemented.

The buildings are considered to have potential for redevelopment to residential use under Class Q Permitted Development Rights or commercial uses under Class R Permitted Development Rights and subject to the necessary Prior Approval process. Such rights may be used to form a fall-back position for new build development in the alternative. A proportion of the land lies adjacent to the edge of the village and may have strategic development potential. Decisions on any planning application will be made in using the Development Plan and any other material considerations and buyers should make their own investigations.
