The site itself occupies a convenient position on Upwell Road, within easy reach of the town centre and surrounding services.
Site Description
Outline planning permission (ref: F/YR20/1138/O) was granted on 14th May 2021 for the development of up to 6 dwellings. This was subsequently refined through a Reserved Matters approval (ref: F/YR23/1070/RM), granted on 28th January 2025, which secures consent for a reduced scheme of 4 detached dwellings.
The approved scheme comprises four detached, single-storey bungalows arranged around a shared internal access, with associated parking, turning areas and private amenity space.
Each dwelling is of a consistent design, extending to approximately 1,366 sq ft, together with an integral garage of circa 312 sq ft. The accommodation is well planned, comprising three bedrooms (including an en-suite to the master bedroom), a separate living room, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area.
