Freehold plot with outline consent for a small housing scheme; early completion available.
Outline planning permission for up to 28 dwellings
A substantial freehold parcel of land of approximately 1.67 acres with outline planning permission for up to 28 dwellings, positioned above Watery Lane with elevated views toward Morecambe Bay and the Lake District. The site is large for a town-centre infill scheme, offering good pedestrian and road access to local amenities, primary and secondary schools, and transport links (approx. 30 minutes to M6 Junction 36).
This opportunity suits developers or investors seeking a small housing scheme in a growing South Cumbrian market town. Outline consent reduces early planning risk but reserved matters and full approval will be required before construction. Early completion is available for a buyer ready to progress the scheme.
Accept that the site sits adjacent to existing commercial/industrial buildings and a railway corridor, and the immediate area records above-average crime levels and local deprivation — factors that should be considered in scheme design, unit mix and sales/pricing strategy. Practical constraints include slow fixed broadband despite excellent mobile signal; services and detailed site surveys will be necessary prior to detailed design.
Overall, the site offers clear development potential driven by size, town-centre location and scenic outlooks. It will suit a buyer comfortable managing the planning follow-up, addressing local context with appropriate landscaping and specification, and positioning the homes for the local market.
