Land, Hawkhurst, Kent

The Opportunity:

A superb opportunity to acquire a residential development site with the benefit of full planning permission for the erection of a detached two-bedroom bungalow within the front garden of the existing dwelling.

The approved scheme has been carefully designed as an attractive single-storey home reflecting the character of the neighbouring Springett Almshouses through matching brickwork, clay roof tiles and traditional detailing. The scheme provides an accessible, energy-efficient home with private parking, gardens and biodiversity enhancements.

Total GIA: Approximately 52 sqm (560 sq ft), sourced from the approved plans.

The Current Site:

The site currently comprises the front and side garden of the existing semi-detached dwelling, occupying a prominent corner position fronting Horns Road (A229).

The land is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedging providing an established setting. The existing dwelling remains unaffected and retains its own private garden together with shared access arrangements.

Access to the site is taken from Ridgeway, an established residential access.

Existing Use: Residential garden.

Total Site Area: Approximately 360 sqm

ADDITIONAL NOTE: The planning permission benefits from a self/custom-build exemption from mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). Condition 5 requires the dwelling to be constructed and occupied as a qualifying self/custom-build dwelling for a minimum of three years from first occupation. If this requirement is not met, a Biodiversity Net Gain Plan will be required to be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority.
