Church Road, Hartley, Longfield

Our Summary
- Timber in construction the property has stood the test of time over the last 60 years and still has plenty of charm although modernisation would be required
- A summerhouse with kitchenette and toilet give further development potential with the possibility of even splitting the plot to develop two areas
- Again subject to planning agreement
- Planning Statement - I see from the papers that planning consent was granted for the erection of the Colt bungalow under consent reference 5/60/377
- The next stage could be to consider some extensions to both properties
- Any planning application must be determined in accordance with a development plan unless other material considerations indicate an alternative result
- Having regard to all of the above considerations, the planning balance indicates to me that the independent use and creation of a separate dwelling unit around the small property at the front of the site is feasible with perhaps some extensions
- To summarise, handled correctly there is potential to improve the existing housing provision on this site
Description

The three-bedroom bungalow has an open-plan living area with windows offering beautiful views of the garden and distant countryside.

The property also has a summerhouse with kitchenette and toilet, providing further development potential. The plot offers a gentle slope leading to stunning countryside views and is South East facing. The property has planning consent for the erection of a Colt bungalow, and there is potential to improve and increase the floor area available for residential purposes. However, any planning application must be determined in accordance with the development plan and National Planning Policy Framework.
