Agents note
The property was granted planning permission, reference number: 2021/2917/ful, which is due to expire in March 2025. The above permission was to provide a two-storey extension adjoining the flat above, 2 The Maltings. Should a purchaser wish, a resubmission could be applied for an extension, solely for 3 The Maltings, notably increasing the existing accommodation.
