PLANNING

In May 2023 Fenland District Council granted Prior Approval for a change of use from agriculture to residential on Buildings A and B under Planning Reference: F/YR23/0278/PNC04.

In January 2024 a Full Planning Application was approved under Planning Reference F/YR23/0927/F for the change of use for domestic purposes of the yard and land around the buildings, as well as the creation of two new access points to Kirkham's Lane and the demolition of an old brick building.

Now that residential use has been established and accepted by the Local Planning Authority a Fallback Application could be submitted to the Council to obtain Full Planning Permission for 1/2 new dwellings
on the site.

The current owners are selling the adjoining farm yard and land to the south and east of this offering. A right of access through the existing farm yard as well as a right of access for construction of the development will be granted to a buyer until the development is complete.
