ACCESS: Historically there were two accesses to the Property off Hensting Lane. One of these close to the proposed site for the agricultural building remains in use as marked by the black arrow on the Site Plan. As Hensting Lane is an unclassified, adopted tarmac road, it is possible that the second access marked by the blue arrow on the Site Plan could be reopened under agricultural permitted development rights. Interested parties are advised to make their own investigations on this aspect.

CONSENT FOR REPLACEMENT AGRICULTURAL BUILDING: Planning Consent was achieved on 13th December 2024 from Winchester City Council under application ref. 23/01907/APN to replace the agricultural building that was present on the Property until it was destroyed by fire on 30th July 2020. The footings, concrete pad and access track remain from the previous building. See Plans, Elevations and Decision Notice on the Selling Agent's website.

FENCING: The Property is bounded by established hedgerows and stock fencing. The Vendor is in the process of erecting post and wire fencing along part of the south-western boundary.

THE LAND: The pasture land extends to 7.92 acres (3.21 ha). The Agricultural Land Classification Map indicates Grade 3 and the Geological Survey Map indicates 'slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils'. The land gently slopes down to the south-east from around 50m above sea level to around 36m. The land currently in use for hay production would be suitable for various uses including agriculture, equestrian, recreation, Biodiversity Net Gain, conservation, and tourism subject to first obtaining planning consent where necessary.
