Planning
Although the property lends itself to extension/remodelling or redevelopment, any planning application will need to adequately identify and deal with flood risk is-sues. Commercial uses are more likely to be received favourably than residential uses, but the property lies within the functional floodplain and redevelopment of the site might not be possible.
All interested parties must make their own enquiries and all offers must be unconditional as far as planning is concerned. The property is within the Millmead and Portsmouth Road Conservation Area, and within an Urban Area and Guildford Town Centre.
VAT
The Property is not elected for VAT, and VAT will not be payable on the purchase price.
