The costs associated with the credits are: £83,040 inclusive of VAT, with a 10% deposit of £8,304 inc. VAT already having been paid by the landowners. Parties are to account for the rest within their offer.

CIL
CIL will be applicable on the site, determined during the Reserved Matters Application process. Parties are to make their own investigations on the anticipated costs and account for this within their offer.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This site has been designed in the outline consent plans as 6 x bungalows, however it is not restricted to this as the wording of the consent allows for Dwellinghouses, plus there are no restrictions on the height of the homes, thereby giving the purchaser the ability to seek consent via the Reserved Matters process for two storey dwellings if they wish to maximise value, whether that be houses or chalet style bungalows.

The site benefits from views of the countryside to the south and west, so parties are encouraged to embrace this as part of their Reserved Matters scheme design.

The land is to be sold by informal tender, Subject to Contract.

PROPOSED GDV

The outline consent includes plans for 6 x two bedroom bungalows, however it is expected that a more varied scheme of units could be designed through the Reserved Matters process, including larger bungalows, houses and/or chalet style homes.

Based on the 6 x Bungalows, we anticipate a minimum GDV of £2,100,000 to £2,200,000 based on the bungalows being worth between £350,000 to £370,000 each., but this could be substantially improved upon via a mixed scheme of larger properties (subject to necessary consents).
