A rare development plot in Lichfield city centre with full planning permission for 22 apartments (20 one-bed, 2 two-bed) across c.10,000 sq ft. Permissions (22/01149/FULM and 20/01610/FULM) have been implemented and remain valid, allowing work to restart after demolition of the existing part-built structure. The proposed scheme includes nine parking spaces and cycle storage — practical for a city-centre rental or sales-led project.
Initial construction progressed to first-floor level in 2020 before stopping in 2021; the site has remained vacant since. That early activity and prior interest (12 apartments were previously agreed for sale) indicate local demand for entry-level apartments and rental stock. The site’s freehold tenure and excellent transport links beside Lichfield City railway station are strong locational advantages for commuters.
Buyers should note material considerations: the existing part-built structure will require demolition and a new contractor appointment to complete the scheme, and the area records a very high crime statistic which may affect management costs and tenant perceptions. The lot is offered at auction with a 10% deposit and non-refundable buyer’s fee — purchasers must review the Legal Pack and be prepared for binding contracts at sale.
This opportunity suits developers, investors or housing providers seeking a city-centre scheme with planning in place and quick restart potential. Carrying out a full site inspection and due diligence, including costs for demolition, reinstatement, and local management strategies, is strongly advised before bidding.
