A rare edge-of-town development parcel with outline permission for up to nine open-market homes, offered freehold. The site extends to approximately 1.2 acres and sits directly off Bath Road on the northern edge of Warminster, with countryside to the north and existing housing to the south. The illustrative scheme indicates unit footprints around 1,399–1,507 ft², giving a clear starting point for detailed design and value modelling.
The location offers strong transport links for occupiers: Warminster sits on the Wessex main line and has direct road connections to Bath, Chippenham, Salisbury and the A303. The site benefits from mature boundary screening and a largely level profile, which should help reduce initial site preparation costs. Mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern communications and construction logistics.
Important constraints and costs are clear and quantifiable. Outline planning (PL/2021/10503) is granted but reserved matters remain; purchasers must secure detailed consent before construction. Community Infrastructure Levy applies at £55/m² (index-linked) and a phosphate mitigation cost of £34,000 is payable by the buyer. VAT has been elected on the land. Broadband speeds in the immediate area are very slow and the western boundary faces a light industrial estate—these factors may influence unit mix, specification and marketing strategy.
For a developer or investor the parcel offers a manageable small-scheme opportunity with demonstrable planning potential and good market accessibility. The scheme suits a developer prepared to progress reserved matters, absorb the known infrastructure and mitigation costs, and position new homes to balance countryside outlook against neighbouring commercial uses.
