Planning approved for 3‑bed detached house circa 1,540 sq ft
A rare consented building plot on Mincing Lane with planning approved for a sizeable three‑bed detached house (circa 1,540 sq ft) including garage and off‑street parking. The site benefits from a material start on site and connected drainage/pavement crossing, offering a head‑start on construction. Short drives to Rowley Regis station and the M5 (Junction 2) make the plot practical for commuter families.
This freehold parcel suits a buyer wanting to build a family home or an investor seeking a one‑off development opportunity in an established urban area. The plot is described as extremely large overall with a decent rear garden potential and private driveway frontage as shown on the planning site plan.
Important practical points: the sale is via the Modern Method of Auction (subject to undisclosed reserve) so a non‑refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) and additional buyer costs apply. The site is uneven and potentially dangerous — do not visit without accompaniment. Buyers must carry out their own due diligence; documents in the buyer information pack should be checked carefully.
Location strengths include local shops, schools and fast broadband/mobile signal. Be aware the immediate area is classified as very deprived with average local crime and predominantly young hard‑pressed families — this will affect long‑term resale and lettings. Planning reference: Sandwell Council DC/04/4211 (consent for 1 x 3‑bed detached house).
