Full Description: With planning consent for the redevelopment of the site into 4 no. dwellings, 1 no. office, repair of an existing barn and associated works including parking and landscaping together with the demolition of existing agricultural buildings. Potential for further enhancement of the site, subject to planning.Location - Sowe Fields Farm is situated off Lenton’s Lane, Aldermans Green, to the North-East of Coventry (approximately 3.8 miles to the City centre). Access is directly off Lenton’s Lane via a private drive (approximately 500 metres South of the property), providing privacy to the site. It is well located for access to the M6, M42 and M40 motorways. Rail services are available from Coventry with trains to Birmingham Stations and London Euston. The NEC and Birmingham International Airport are within easy travelling distance. Coventry (4 miles), Nuneaton (8 miles), Hinckley (10 miles) ,Rugby (13 miles), Leamington Spa (15 miles) and Birmingham (15 miles) are all just a short drive with good railway links, public houses, hotels, shops, garages, primary schools and secondary schools with both state and private options.The Site - The site lies within the Green Belt, and extends to approx. 0.55 ha (1.36 ac) as outlined red on the plan. The existing traditional agricultural buildings are of brick and tile construction alongside modern steel portal frame buildings, a static cabin and grain silos, totalling approximately 735m² (7,905sq ft) in floor area.Access - The property is accessed directly off Lenton’s Lane through a set of double gates over a hardcore driveway.

The structures are identified on Demolition Site plan ref: A-P10-002 as 'C' and 'G'. R23/0735 - Repair and alteration works to Barn C at Sowe Fields Farm.R23/0981 - Conversion of an agricultural building to office use under Class R of the General Permitted Development (Amendment and Consequential Provisions) Order 2015.R23/1191 - Application for repair of Barn D including the addition of new timber cladding and doors along with the repair of the existing brick walls.R24/0071 - Class Q Prior Approval for the conversion of agricultural barns to 4 No. residential dwellinghouse (Class C3).Future Potential (Subject To Further Planning Appr - a.Increased floorspace The ability to increase the extent of floorspace on the site by utilising the 4m extension rule, could conservatively lead to an increase in gross floorspace of up to 40% subject to planning. The existing buildings are long-form with hardstanding or concreted areas to the front, indicating that increasing the width of the buildings by 4m should succeed under the regulations. b.Increased housing numbers The ability to increase the number of units for conversion is a further opportunity. The Vendor’s planning consultant believes that there is a good case for a total of 6 dwelling houses to be comfortably created as a consequence of applying the revised rules. This is possible by applying Minimum National Space Standards and does not account for any additional increases which might be generated from the ability to increase the overall floor space with 4m extensions onto surrounding hardstanding. Taking all of the above into account, the increase in Class Q housing numbers and floorspace, could result in achieving a higher “base line” fallback position. Consequently, a higher number of replacement dwellings could be negotiated with the LPA as part of a pre-application process.Restrictions And Covenants - The site will be sold with a restrictive covenant that limits residential development to 6 dwellings with other office or commercial uses as appropriate. The Vendor owns other land and property adjoining the development site.Services - Purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries in respect of the location and cost of connection of local services.
