For Sale by Private Treaty

In all about 11.82 acres (4.78 hectares)

Location

The land is located immediately to the west of Britwell Salome, adjoining the area known as Turners Green and to the north of the B4009. The village is known for The Red Lion Public House and its Farm Shop. The M40 (Junction 6) is within 5 miles to the north east and the Thames-side towns of Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames are within easy reach.

Description

The land extends to approximately 11.82 acres (4.78ha) in total, with the main field approximately 11.18 acres (4.52 ha) and the remainder of the area made up of the access corridor to the north east. There is also access directly off the B4009 in the south eastern corner of the field.

The main field has been used for arable production and let to a local farmer. The field is currently in stubbles with vacant possession available on the 29th September 2024. The boundaries are delineated by mature hedgerows.

The Land is outside of the Chilterns National Landscape Boundary (formerly known as AONB).

As a result of its position, adjoining existing development and immediately to the north of the B4009, the property would appear to have long term strategic appeal for residential development.

Promotion Agreement and Planning

The land was previously subject to a planning promotion agreement which ran from August 2018 until August 2023. During that time planning application P22/S1433/FUL, for 10 dwelling houses, was refused by South Oxfordshire District Council. The decision was appealed by the Promoter and details of this unsuccessful appeal can be found on the Planning Inspectorate website under Reference Number APP/Q3115/W/22/3312652.

Designations

The land is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

Overage

Despite the above unsuccessful planning application and appeal, the location of the land does provide it with strategic appeal. As a result of this, the sale contract will include an Overage mechanism in the event of future development. The Overage Deed would provide a payment of 40% of any uplift in the event of development (other than agricultural or equestrian) within 35 years of the date of sale.
