The barn is deemed to be curtilage Listed in association with the Grade II* Listed Home Farm House, which is to the north of the site. The full planning and Listed Building applications can be viewed via the Dorset Council Planning Portal, refs: P/ful/2022/02792 and P/lbc/2022/02793. Cil Liability £0. The site is subject to an overage provision, whereby in the event that planning permission is implemented for the development of more than two dwellings on the site within a 30 year period, then 50% of any uplift in value will become payable. The site falls within the Greenbelt and the Conservation Area. A restricted pedestrian right of access will be retained in favour of 'Five Bells Cottage' for the purpose of repair and maintenance. The Section 106 Agreement makes reference to nitrates mitigation by means of the erection of a sewage treatment plant to serve Corner cottage and Hillside. The required upgrade works are currently underway and the estate hope to have them completed by completion of a sale. The estate wants to retain management of these systems as they service retained property as we do not want a situation whereby the buyer of Morden Rickyard does not service them correctly on an annual basis for example. Certificates for the systems can be provided once all works are completed. Prospective buyers should note provision in the listed building consent for the creation of two parking spaces within the boundary of the Property for use by No. 69 Horse Pond Lane.
