A sizeable 0.19-acre freehold plot on Wakefield Road, 0.25 miles from Stalybridge town centre, presents a clear investment opportunity for residential redevelopment. The site benefits from dual frontages onto Wakefield Road and Kinder Street, good transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical advantages for modern family housing or a small townhouse scheme.
Planning permission for five four‑bed townhouses was granted in March 2021 (App No: 20/01055/FUL) but lapsed in March 2024. That consent provides a useful precedent but any purchaser should treat the site as requiring new planning approval; costs and time for a fresh application must be allowed for. The land is currently overgrown and will need clearance and site preparation before construction can begin.
This is a straightforward, auction‑offered development plot priced to reflect the need for new consent and preparatory works. The surrounding area offers a mix of amenities, schools with Good Ofsted ratings and very low recorded crime, which supports family‑oriented housing demand — but the neighbourhood is recorded as very deprived, which may affect sales values and rental yields.
Suitable for experienced developers or investors comfortable managing planning risk and groundworks, the plot is freehold with no flood risk. Prospective buyers should carry out their own due diligence on services, access, decontamination (if applicable), and a fresh planning strategy before the auction date.
