Large freehold 11-acre site with historic planning notes, suited to experienced developers..
Approximately 10.5–11 acres of cleared, level development land
An unmissable development parcel of approximately 10.5–11 acres on the northern edge of Edzell Woods, offered freehold with clear potential for residential redevelopment. The site is largely level, cleared of buildings and bounded by mature woodland and agricultural land, providing a strong canvas for a substantial housing scheme. Mains water and electricity lie adjacent; historical planning paperwork and infrastructure plans are available to assist early appraisal.
Aberdeenshire Council has previously indicated support in pre-application discussions for up to 50 dwellings but requires site investigation works, a traffic impact assessment and drainage impact assessment. Any meaningful multi-unit development will likely need significant upgrades to the private road network and wastewater infrastructure; Perry Road must be brought to adoptable standard and connection to a mains drainage solution addressed.
This opportunity suits experienced housebuilders or land investors able to carry out technical surveys and fund infrastructure upgrades. There is scope to re-submit a comprehensive planning proposal informed by the available historical consents and the data room documents. Buyers should budget realistically for investigative, remediation and road/drainage upgrade costs before securing planning permission.
Material considerations: the site lies within a remoter rural community and an area classified as very deprived; market absorption may be slower than in urban locations. Offers will be invited by closing date; a non-refundable deposit will be payable on conclusion of missives.
