INFORMATION the property has availability to connect into mains drainage, mains water, electric and multiple broadband suppliers. The purchaser has the opportunity to choose their own heating supply be that oil, LPG gas or air source, there is no mains gas in the village.

PLANNING - reference number DC/24/05290 - please visit the Babergh Mid Suffolk council planning pages for full information. Please be aware that consent has been granted under the specific requirement that the build is carried out as defined under section 1(A1) of the self-build and custom house building act 2015. This in practice means the property must be occupied by the purchaser of the plot for a defined period following practical completion. It however does not remove the option for a purchaser to contract out the practical building of the property.

BUILD TIME-FAME the vendors require the build to have been commenced no later than 6 months following completion of the sale. Furthermore the build will be required to have reached practical completion no later than 30 months after completion.

BOUNDARIES are marked on site including the point of access from The Street by white topped posts. Fencing will be erected by the vendors to the following boundaries between exchange and completion. Fencing to the rear will be of post and rail type with stock proof wire mesh. Fencing to the side between The Green (adjacent property to the West) and the plot will be of 6ft close board type running from front to rear.

RAYDON the village of Raydon combines close and effective transport links to the wider county and beyond including under an hours drive to London Stanstead airport and a 55 minute train journey into London from Manningtree Mainline station, with rural surroundings and the welcoming charm of a Suffolk village.

POTTON HOMES consent has been achieved using plans and guidance provided by Potton Homes a well known and highly regarded individual new homes contract builder. They are able to provide a custom build quotation if required and have most recently advised a ballpark build cost at £210 per square foot.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water
