**Incredible Development Opportunity** – Heatherview 62 Cambridge Road Aldershot
The site: Heatherview site area is approx. 0.47 acres, consisting of a substantial detached 7-bedroom brick built Victorian Villa with scope to modernise.
The topography slopes to the rear with stepped levels, bordered by two mature trees towards the south-west, there are no Tree Preservation Orders. The property is not listed and is not within the conservation area.
Development Potential: Rushmoor Council have provided a positive written response to a formal pre application for two x 3 bed detached houses retaining the existing dwelling.
Extract of the case officer response are below:
“The site is located within the Defined Urban Area as shown on the Policies Map, where residential redevelopment would normally be considered acceptable, subject to compliance with the relevant planning policies”. I do not consider that a development of this form would materially and adversely affect the character and visual amenity of the area. Indeed, while the existing building is not nationally or locally listed, it is still an attractive and characterful dwelling, and I consider that a redevelopment that allows for its retention and preserves the spacing on either side would be preferable to a wholesale redevelopment scheme which results in the loss of the building”
This site offers potential to upgrade the existing dwelling or convert into multiple units. In addition, the opportunity to develop two further dwellings (as per the pre app information) or alternatively apply for a revised scheme to develop the entire site.
