Some properties in Bagshot are built in areas where there are risks of both surface water and ground water flooding. A recent Environmental Search Report carried out for a property in Hawkesworth Drive found that there was a potential risk of surface water flooding within 250m of the property. This kind of flooding can result from factors like high intensity rainfall events (typically greater than 30mm per hour) but can occur otherwise if the ground has low permeability. The same report noted that the property was subject to a high risk of groundwater flooding within 250m of the property "with a chance greater than 1% annual probability of occurrence or more frequent". If you are buying a property using a mortgage, your lender requires you to get an Environmental Search report (click to find out more), which examines matters like flooding. Depending on what the Environmental Search flags up, you may wish to book an additional Flood Risk report (click to find out more). |
Some properties in the Bagshot area may be subject to environmental constraints. A recent Environmental Search carried out on a property in Southwick revealed that the dwelling was sited with 250m of the following: Lightwater Country Park, Colony Bog and Bagshot Heath (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) and Thames Basin Heaths (Special Protection Areas). A property built in close proximity to these kinds of areas may well be subject to constraints on development and alteration. |
Some properties in Bagshot may be subject to local byelaws occasioned by local authority development plans. A recent local authority search (click to find out more) for a property in Bagshot Green GU19 5JP revealed that the dwelling was sited within a settlement area, which has a development plan designation and borough-wide policies apply to it. A local authority search shows up these details which may affect what alterations and development can be carried out on a property. |
