4 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS We understand the property is a Grade II Listed Building. It may be that the property could be suitable for alternative uses. From pre-application advice that has been received in the past in 2008 and November 2014, it would appear that consideration may be given to residential conversion, but from the correspondence it is likely the Planning Authority would be very keen to retain the overall character and plan form of the building. At the time, they particularly referred to the fact that sub-dividing the principal rooms either vertically or horizontally would not be appropriate. They make reference to the fact that the School House itself may be more suitable for residential accommodation as it was originally and they refer to the remainder of the building as perhaps being appropriate for community use. Interested parties are advised to make any planning enquiries direct to: The Local Planning Department South Holland District Council, Council Offices, Priory Road, Spalding, Lincolnshire PE11 2XE Telephone: planningadvice@sholland.gov.uk DEVELOPMENT CLAWBACK The property will be sold with an uplift provision in favour of the vendors whereby the vendors will retain 35% of any development uplift there may be if planning consent is granted for any additional units for any other purpose within the curtilage of the existing site outside the footprint of the existing building. Such clawback would be for a period of 25 years. ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE The property is a Grade II Listed Building and, therefore, exempt from the Energy Performance Certificate legislation. VAT There is no VAT payable on the purchase price. VIEWING Strictly by appointment with R Longstaff & Co CALL: commercial@longstaff.com
