Approved consent for two single-storey homes on a 0.57-acre rural plot.
0.57 acre plot with planning consent for two single-storey dwellings
This rare 0.57-acre development site at Top House Farm in Dalbury Lees offers an immediate planning-led opportunity for a buyer or small developer. Two substantial outbuildings have planning consent (South Derbyshire application DMPN/2025/0325) for conversion into two single-storey detached dwellings, and consent includes formation of a new access from the lane. The plot sits back from the road and backs directly onto open farmland, providing privacy and uninterrupted rural outlooks with no flood risk recorded.
The barns are a mix of traditional and modern agricultural construction: one brick/traditional barn with a proposed contemporary glazed element, and a modern steel portal-framed building proposed as a three-bedroom dwelling. Neither building has services connected; a purchaser must establish mains connections or alternatives. The vendor is willing to grant easements to assist service connections, but utility provision will be a material cost and should be confirmed prior to exchange.
Practical considerations are straightforward but significant. The site is sold freehold with vacant possession, but the vendor intends to retain a right of way over part of the land to access retained land — buyers should review title and access arrangements. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the rural hamlet setting. An on-site inspection is essential; the site cannot be fully appreciated from the roadside and will suit buyers looking for a conversion project with planning consent in place.
