PLANNING
The current owner has briefly explored the option of developing the property further to add four letting rooms and six pods to the rear garden. They have sought pre-planning advice which has returned in support of developing the outbuildings and public house for further letting accommodation but they were not as keen on the pods to the back garden. The agents have copies of the correspondence with the local planning authority and plans and they are available to seriously interested parties.
