Auction lot with planning in principle for five large detached homes.
1. Approximately 1.1 acres of greenfield development land
A substantial 1.1 acre greenfield plot in Porlethen offered with planning in principle for five detached five‑bed houses (Plan ref: APP/2014/1850). The site sits in a popular commuter town approximately seven miles south of Aberdeen, with good local amenities, schools and transport links including rail and the A90. Recent nearby house sales provide comparable evidence of strong residential demand in the area.
This lot will be sold at auction and is presented as a clear development opportunity for housebuilders or investor‑developers. The guide price reflects the plot size and existing planning in principle, offering potential for capital growth if full permission is secured. The land is currently vacant/overgrown and represents a straightforward canvas for development, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.
Buyers should note material points before bidding: tenure is unknown and will require verification, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the wider area classification indicates notable deprivation levels. There is no recorded flood risk. These factors, together with the auction sale method, mean purchasers should carry out full due diligence on services, access, planning conditions and site surveys prior to purchase.
Overall, the plot is aimed at experienced developers or investors comfortable managing pre‑construction risk. With planning in principle already in place and strong local house sale comparables, the site offers a realistic opportunity for a five‑unit detached development, provided the buyer addresses planning, infrastructure and market considerations.
