TOWN PLANNING
The vendor has made enquiries of the Local Planning Authority regarding conversion of the self-contained first floor into residential accommodation. We understand it cannot be converted into permanent living space because the floor area is below the minimum space standard of 37 sq m. However, subject to the necessary consents it could be used as temporary / seasonal accommodation such as staff accommodation or holiday letting. Prospective interested parties are advised to contact the Planning Department of the Isles of Scilly Council for more information.

TENURE
Freehold.
