Outline permission for up to 125 dwellings granted at appeal
A substantial freehold development site of approximately 21.3 acres (8.6 ha) on the southern edge of Tenbury Wells with outline planning permission for up to 125 dwellings secured at appeal (M/22/00289/OUT; APP/J1860/W/24/3353961). Access is reserved as part of the consent; all other matters are reserved for future detailed submissions. The site is split into two parcels by Terrills Lane and sits adjacent to existing housing, offering clear connection points to the town and countryside views across the Teme Valley.
This opportunity suits housebuilders or investors seeking a large strategic allocation with permission in place. The consent includes a 40% affordable housing requirement, which materially affects the number of market sale units and viability considerations. Purchasers should factor in likely Section 106 obligations and infrastructure contributions at the reserved matters stage.
Practical considerations: the land is largely arable with gentle undulation and no identified flood risk, mobile signal is excellent but broadband speeds are slow locally. The site falls within a small market town with good local schools nearby, but the area records above-average crime statistics which may influence product positioning and on-site design/security measures.
Offers are invited by informal tender and must be received by noon on Thursday 21st August 2025. The purchaser will be expected to progress detailed design and reserved matters submissions in line with the appeal decision and planning conditions.
