Redevelopment opportunity
Potential for a contemporary replacement dwelling of around 2500 sq ft
Site of around 0.3 acre in countryside location
Good access to both Bicester and Buckingham
Redevelopment opportunity
A pair of three bedroom, semi-detached cottages built in 1904 in a stunning rural location surrounded by fields.
The properties are in a dangerous structural condition and the site would suit a replacement dwelling on the existing footprint, and with permitted development rights could provide a 5-bedroom 3-bathroom contemporary home of about 2,500sq ft.
The site can be extended to include some additional agricultural land so in all about 0.3 acre.
Accommodation in each cottage consists of: Entrance Hall, sitting room, kitchen, dining room. Ground floor bathroom. Three first floor bedrooms.
Outside: Adjoining lean-to shed. Garden.
Mains electricity.
Mains water.
Septic tank drainage. Septic tank needs to be replaced and buyer must install at their own cost within the site.
NOTE: Risk Assessment - DANGEROUS floors upstairs.
Replacement property
A replacement property should be justifiable under the current Buckinghamshire Council ‘replacement dwellings’ policy as below:
Replacement dwellings in the countryside
5.25 In the countryside existing dwellings already form a part of the landscape and associations with other buildings and with infrastructure are already established. Therefore, outside the Green Belt, the replacement of existing dwellings with a similar dwelling will generally be acceptable. Whilst accepting the principle of the erection of replacement dewellings, it is important to take into account the overall effect of the proposed replacement on its surroundings. To avoid harmful impacts the effects of the proposed replacement dwelling should be compared with the impact of the exisiting dwelling. If the dwelling being allowed exceeds the original size, the council may impose a condition withdrawing future permitted development rights to prevent further expansion harming the surrounding area. For the purpose of the comparision the term ‘dwelling’ will not include any detached garaging or domestic outbuildings.
To maximise the potential of the site, providing a good sized (relative to the existing) property, whilst achieving appropriately sized external areas for amenity and parking, we believe the property should be repositioned closer to southern and eastern boundaries. The overall height of the property could be lower and be of a character designed to be more appropriate to the setting, improving the appearance of the site. Please note the proposal is indicative and subject to a detailed line and level survey and that there is no guarantee that this approach will be supported by the planners.
