T: 01728 724200 F: 01728 724667 Planning for the construction of a double cart lodge. And The London Office Grounds of approximately one acre with additional land possibly 40 St James’ Place London SW1A 1NS available by negotiation. [email protected] www.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk Location Chestnut Tree Barn occupies probably one of the best positions in East Suffolk, in a superb position along a small country track (just accessing the neighbouring Chestnut Tree Farmhouse, farmland and a footpath/ bridleway) with far reaching views over the surrounding countryside and towards Monewden church.

The property is located on FridayStreet, which is in the parish of Brandeston, adjacent to Monewden and within a short distance of Cretingham. Both Cretingham and Brandeston beneﬁt from excellent public houses, The Bell and The Queen respectively. Brandeston is also home to Framlingham College’s prep school, which is in walking distance, over a footpath, from the property. Framlingham itself is just six miles to the north-east and oﬀers a comprehensive range of services and facilities including a supermarket, doctors, dentists, veterinary practice, garages, cafes, restaurants and pubs, as well as excellent schools in both the state and private sector.

Within ten miles is Woodbridge. The county town of Ipswich is just ﬁfteen miles. From here, there are mainline railway services to London’s Liverpool Street station, scheduled to take just over the hour. The heritage coastline at Aldeburgh is within about twenty miles, with the other coastal resorts of Thorpeness, Southwold, Walberswick and Orford in the Suﬀolk Coast & Heath’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all within easy reach.

Description Planning permission was granted under reference DC/18/0031/FUL on 6th July 2018. Copies of the planning permission are available with these particulars. Documents and plans are also available from the East Suﬀolk website. The planning permission allows forthe change of use of a redundant Suﬀolk barn to a dwelling of approximately 2,250 sq ft, which will include an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, along with a utility room, storeroom and study. In addition, planning allows for four bedrooms, three of which have en-suites and a family bathroom. Whilst planning permission has been granted, the vendor has not applied for building regulations and it is anticipated that a buyer may look to alter the living accommodation to suit their requirements.

The barn stands in grounds of approximately one acre and there is planning permission for a double cart lodge. A boundary plan is included within the particulars and outlines the property in red. The vendors may consider selling further land, but this cannot be guaranteed and would be by negotiation. As per the key on the plan, the area outlined in red is indicative only. The boundary is to be agreed, pegged and surveyed when a sale has been agreed. The area outlined in blue is deemed agricultural and the buyer will be responsible for obtaining planning permission to use it as garden land rather than agricultural land if so required. Chestnut Tree Barn will have a right of way for all purposes over the land shaded green on the plan, paying one third of the cost of maintenance. However, the buyer of the barn will be responsible for 100% of the cost of putting the track back into a reasonable order having carried out the conversion works.

Services Mains electricity is understood to be in the vicinity and the appropriate easement will be granted by the vendor to the buyer for an underground electricity supply to be installed. There is no mains water in the vicinity and a buyer will need to install their own borehole plant which is likely to cost circa £15,000 plus VAT. A buyer will need to install a modern sewage treatment plant. Buyers should rely on their own investigations with regard to any services required.

Planning and Coastal Management

DC – PEFULZ – Issue April 2017 2. The granting of planning permission is separate to any consents that may be required in relation to Public Rights of Way, including the authorisation of gates. These consents are to be obtained from the Public Rights of Way & Access Team at Suffolk County Council, as the Highway Authority.

To apply to carry out work on the Public Right of Way or seek a temporary closure, visit http://www.suffolkpublicrightsofway.org.uk/home/temporary-closure-of-a-public-right-of- way/ or telephone 0345 606 6071.

To apply for structures, such as gates, on a Public Rights of Way, visit http://www.suffolkpublicrightsofway.org.uk/home/land-manager-information/ or telephone 0345 606 6071.

1. Nothing should be done to stop up or divert the Public Right of Way without following the due legal process including confirmation of any orders and the provision of any new path. If you wish to build upon, block, divert or extinguish a public right of way within the red lined area marked in the application, an order must be made, confirmed, and brought into effect by the local planning authority, using powers under s257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. In order to avoid delays with the application this should be considered at an early opportunity.

2. The alignment, width, and condition of Public Rights of Way providing for their safe and convenient use shall remain unaffected by the development unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Rights of Way & Access Team; any damage resulting from these works must be made good by the applicant.

3. Under Section 167 of the Highways Act 1980 any structural retaining wall within 3.66 metres of the Public Right of Way with a retained height in excess of 1.37 metres must not be constructed without the prior approval of drawings & specifications by Suffolk County Council. The process to be followed to gain approval will depend on the nature and complexity of the proposals. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss preliminary proposals at an early stage, such that the likely acceptability of any proposals can be determined, and the process to be followed can be clarified.

Construction of any retaining wall or structure that supports the Public Right of Way or is likely to affect the stability of the right of way may also need prior approval at the discretion of Suffolk County Council.

4. If the Public Right of Way is temporarily affected by works which will require it to be closed,

Planning and Coastal Management

DC – PEFULZ – Issue April 2017 a Traffic Regulation Order will need to be sought from Suffolk County Council.

5. The applicant must have private rights to take motorised vehicles over the Public Right of Way. Without lawful authority it is an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 to take a motorised vehicle over a Public Right of Way other than a byway. We do not keep records of private rights and suggest a solicitor is contacted.

? Public footpath - only to be used by people on foot, or using a mobility vehicle. ? Public bridleway - in addition to people on foot, bridleways may also be used by someone on a horse or someone riding a bicycle. ? Restricted byway - has similar status to a bridleway, but can also be used by a 'non- motorised vehicle', for example a horse and carriage. ? Byway open to all traffic (BOAT) - can be used by all vehicles, including motorised vehicles as well as people on foot, on horse or on a bicycle. In some cases, there may be a Traffic Regulation Order prohibiting forms of use.

6. Public Rights of Way & Access is not responsible for maintenance and repair of the route beyond the wear and tear of normal use for its status and it will seek to recover the costs of any such damage it is required to remedy.

7. There may be other public rights of way that exist over this land that have not been registered on the Definitive Map. These paths are either historical paths that were never claimed under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, or paths that have been created by public use giving the presumption of dedication by the land owner whether under the Highways Act 1980 or by Common Law. This office is not aware of any such claims.

More information about Public Rights of Way can be found at www.suffolkpublicrightsofway.org.uk

3. The Local Planning Authority has assessed the proposal against all material considerations including planning policies and any comments that may have been received. The planning application has been approved in accordance with the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework and local plan to promote the delivery of sustainable development and to approach decision taking in a positive way.
