A rare, large building plot on the fringe of Cross Houses with full planning permission (ref: 25/02000/FUL) for a generous 250 sqm (2,690 sqft) four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached home. The site sits elevated beside National Trust farmland, offering countryside outlooks while remaining just a short drive from Shrewsbury and local village amenities. The approved design includes a double garage, spacious driveway and gardens wrapping the north and west sides to capture evening sunsets.
This plot is marketed for a single self-build dwelling and is freehold. Self-build purchasers benefit from exemption from Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The purchaser must complete the build within three years. Non self-build developers would need a new planning application, a full BNG assessment and to pay CIL, so this opportunity suits someone prepared to manage a self-build project or an experienced buyer willing to submit a revised application.
Practical positives include very low local crime, no flood risk, average mobile and broadband coverage, and good access to the M54 and nearby retail. The village has a convenience store, post office and pubs, with notable local attractions and walks at Attingham Park. Buyers should note the seller’s retained nearby dwelling means any significant design amendments may require the owner’s approval and could incur further expense.
This plot will suit buyers seeking a contemporary family home in a semi-rural, village-edge setting who are ready to take on a self-build timetable and associated responsibilities. The planning consent and generous plot size reduce planning risk for the approved scheme, but purchasers must allow time and budget for build completion within the three-year condition and for any desired design changes or approvals.
