The Land
Parcel 34 is a parcel of vacant land within a larger area of open land on the western side of Stane Street, opposite Lilacs. It forms part of registered title SY796476. Its boundaries are shown on the plan in the legal pack, and buyers should check the extent of the parcel against it. The parcel boundaries may not be marked on the ground. Any plan or image in these particulars is for identification only.
There are no buildings on the land, and no mains services are known to be connected.
Access: Buyers must satisfy themselves from the legal pack as to the rights of way granted to the parcel, including:
- the route of the rights of way
- whether they cover vehicles as well as pedestrians
- any obligation to contribute to construction or maintenance
Stane Street (the A29) is a main road. Buyers should also check whether any new access from it would need highways consent.
Planning
There is no planning permission for any use or development. The land lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt, where national planning policy strictly controls new building and changes of use. Any change of use or development would need planning permission from Mole Valley District Council, and other consents may also be required. Palace Auctions gives no assurance that permission would be granted. Buyers should take their own planning advice and make their own enquiries with the council before bidding.
