Former Rosery Country House Hotel, 15 Church Street, Exning, Newmarket, Suffolk CB8 7EH

Of interest to Investors and Developers.

A prominent former hotel with grounds benefitting from a positive pre-application response response dated 9/1/23 (Ref PREAPP/22/301 - available from the legal pack) The response includes the following two paragraphs -

"......As discussed during our meeting, in my opinion, subject to the principle of
development being accepted (as discussed above regarding policies DM41 and
DM30), I consider that residential development only will help to overcome some
of the challenges of the site and this should be restricted to the existing Rosery
Hotel building and coach house (subject to material considerations, particularly
trees and heritage impacts in this case), and the existing garden should be
retained. A mixed-use site, with a less impactful commercial use, may also be a
consideration.

However, as with any proposal, the only way to fully test the merits of the
proposed development would be through the submission of a formal planning
application. Please see the attached list of relevant documents required if you
decide to submit a planning application. This is to be used as guidance only, it
maybe that when an application is submitted it comes to light further information
is required, that has not been highlighted on this list........"
