Planning
Planning Permission was granted by Maldon District Council on appeal under planning reference FUL/MAL/15/00688 dated 15th June 2015, for the erection of two semi-detached cottages with off street parking on the land to the rear of 144B High Street, Maldon, Essex, CM9 5BX, subject to conditions.
In addition, Planning Permission was granted under reference 13/00562/LBC, dated 4th September 2013, but has since expired, for the conversion of the existing coach house into a live/work unit and two storey side extension including new carriageway arch for access to rear, subject to conditions.
However there is also planning application that was approved under reference 09/00591/FUL dated 25th September 2009 for use of building for B1 use and two story side extension including new carriage way for assess to rear.
Whilst some work (including the new carriageway arch) has started on the coach house, the validity of this Planning Permission would need to be confirmed with Maldon District Council.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
