Private, river-facing parcel with development potential subject to consent.
Approximately 0.65 acres (0.26 ha) of elevated amenity/woodland plot
A rare, elevated amenity/woodland parcel of about 0.65 acres (0.26 ha) in a sought-after Shrewsbury suburb, offered freehold with vacant possession. The site sits to the rear of a residential cul-de-sac with direct access from Shelton Lane/Mountwood Park and attractive outlook towards the River Severn. Its setting offers privacy, mature trees and convenient access to the town centre (about 1 mile) and main road network.
The plot suits buyers looking for an infill amenity, private garden extension or a small development opportunity subject to planning. There are no services currently connected, so utility enquiries and cost allowances should be factored into any proposals. The irregular shape and tree cover make the site most appropriate for sensitive, low-density schemes or retained amenity use rather than large-scale development.
Important commercial condition: if planning permission is secured that increases the site’s value, a contractual overage payment will be due equal to 50% of the uplift in value, payable within three months of consent. This materially affects the economics of any development and should be considered early in feasibility work.
Overall this is a well-located, private woodland plot in an affluent area of Shrewsbury with river views and clear potential for a range of uses subject to planning. It will suit buyers who accept the overage obligation and are prepared to manage tree/groundworks and utility provision as part of redevelopment or amenity conversion.
