PLANNING HISTORY:

1997 - 97/01835/FUL | Agricultural workers detached three bedroom dwelling and detached single garage.

The house does not have any Occupancy Condition. The original Agricultural Occupancy Condition was effectively removed by a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use and Development dated 19th March 2024 by the current Vendor who bought the property approx. 17 years ago. This means that Condition 2 of the original house consent 1998 can no longer be enforced. See link below:

2020 - 20/02682/HOU | Single Storey Oak Framed Garden Room Extension to Side.

2024 - Certificate of Lawful Use or Development - 19th March 2024

Having achieved the above Certificate there is a current Planning Application submitted to Winchester City Council to completely remove the Condition 2 from the original Consent. This application is recently validated. Ref and link: 24/00630/FUL . Dated: 10th May 2024. But a conclusion will be achieved through the marketing campaign. Please speak to the Selling Agent on this matter if further clarification is required.
