5 Consented Plans Planning Ref: CR/2015/0021 Permitted Development was granted on 14 th January 2016 for the conversion of Catteshall Manor and Dean Cottage to 11 dwellings. Including Catteshall Lodge, this overall scheme will provide 9 x 2 bed and 1 x 3 bed in the main house plus 2 x 2 bed houses The proposed schedule of areas is as follows: Planning Ref: CR/2016/0002 Permitted development was granted on 29 th April 2016 for the conversion of Catteshall Manor and Dean Cottage to 16 dwellings. Including Catteshall Lodge, this overall scheme will provide 8 x 1 bed and 7 x 2 bed in the main house plus 2 x 2 bed houses.

6 Further Development Potential We have sought advice from our client s planning consultants and understand that there is a strong possibility of achieving an additional new build scheme at the rear of the main manor house to replace the existing bird aviaries. The existing building footprint measures 7,868ft2 which is made up of 5,974ft2 of original building plus 1,894ft2 of conservatory and rear extensions. The footprint of the aviaries and outbuildings is 6,458ft2. As set out in the plans, the existing main building (excluding extensions) is 5,974ft2. Taking the 40% floorspace increase as a guide (which the council use for extensions to dwellings in the green belt), this works out at theoretically potential increase for a total of 2,390ft2 in addition to the original building. The proposal is to demolish the 1,894ft2 of conservatory and rear extensions bringing the building back to 5,974ft2, giving us the 2,390ft2 (40% uplift). As such, after demolishing the existing outbuildings (6,458ft2), there is the possibility of being able to rebuild a newbuild scheme of 8,848ft2 (6,458ft2 + 2,390ft2) which would provide 14 x 1 bed flats with a total NIA of 8,303ft2 over 2 floors. Therefore, an overall new scheme could provide 28 units: Existing Building Proposed Building Manor House Conversion to 12 flats (6 x 1 bed, 5 x 2 bed, 1 x 3 bed) under PD 9,180 Dean Cottage Conversion to 1 house under PD 632 Catteshall Lodge 1 x 2 bed house 885 New Build 14 x 1 bed 8,302 Total (NIA) 18,999ft2
