There is no existing septic tank serving the subject property. In order to complete the property for residential occupation, the installation of a wastewater treatment system will be required. Any such system will be subject to the granting of planning permission by the local authority.

The property is located within an area zoned as being under urban influence. As a result, any future planning application must comply with the relevant provisions of the local authority’s planning policy and must demonstrate either social need or economic need.

To satisfy the social need requirement, an applicant must be in a position to provide evidence that they have resided within a 10-kilometre radius of the subject property for a continuous period of 10 years or more. In addition, the applicant must confirm that they do not currently own, and have not previously owned, a house in the open countryside.

Alternatively, to satisfy the economic need requirement, an applicant must be able to demonstrate that they are actively engaged in the farming or agricultural industry.
Appropriate supporting documentation will be required in accordance with relevant planning guidelines and local authority requirements.

All prospective purchasers should note that the ability to obtain planning permission is a matter solely for the applicant and the local authority.
