Planning permission has recently been granted for a luxury home beyond the west boundary of this property. This future build site is currently over 20 meters away from the boundary line, with approximately 40 meters between the new site and this house itself. Due to the considerable distance and this property's well-established mature gardens, this development should not affect the property’s privacy or tranquillity.
