After successfully breaching the planning restrictions placed upon the tied property at Grove Farm by allowing it to be occupied by someone other than an agricultural worker for more than ten years without seeking clearance, and then making lawful the breach by applying for retrospective permission, a follow up application has been made to make additional single-storey extensions to 'Orchard Lea', as well as the building of a garage.
Whilst the failure of Mid Suffolk District Council to enforce the restrictions placed on the usage of the property is unfortunate, the owners of the property have merely taken advantage of an opportunity, a point not lost on at least one Parish Councillor.
However, the new application gives an opportunity to local residents to monitor this latest bid to enhance the value of the site, and they have until 24 August to let Mid Suffolk know what they think, if anything. For more information, look here.
