The sites benefit from two neighbouring planning approvals as

follows:

allows for the demolition of domestic outbuildings and the erection

of 9 dwellings, garage block and associated infrastructure.

the 23rd February 2018, reference: 17/00996/OUT. The approval

consultants. Copies of all reports, plans and other documents

submitted with both applications are available to download from

the sale website.

Easthorpe Lodge (Lot 2)

The house itself and immediately adjacent garden land was

excluded from the planning application but identified on the

application plans as being within the ownership of the applicant (as

per the area edged blue on the indicative layout overleaf). The

house is not Listed nor does it lie within the village’s Conservation

Area. Pre-application advice has been sought from Melton Borough

Council about the demolition of the house with the intention of

replacing it with new build development; a copy of the pre-

without attaching a Section 106 Agreement.
