Local Authority and Planning

Tenure and possession
The land is available Freehold with Vacant Possession in March 2027.
Overage Provision
A sum of 20% of any increase in value accruing to the land because of development will revert back to the Vendors for a period of 50 years from completion.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
In accordance with the most recent AML legislation the purchaser will be required to provide proof of identity, home address and funds to the selling agent once an offer has been submitted and accepted (subject to contract), but prior to solicitors being instructed.
