Summary - Dean Street, Galashiels, Selkirkshire, TD1 TD1 1LY
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Freehold corner plot with planning, minutes from town and Borders Railway.
Outline permission for two detached houses (ref 24/01363/PPP)
A substantial corner plot of about 0.19 acres on Dean Street, Galashiels, offered with outline planning permission for two detached houses (ref: 24/01363/PPP). The generous frontage and broadly level, triangular shape make the site straightforward to build on and flexible in layout. Mains services are available nearby, and the town’s amenities and Borders Railway link to Edinburgh are within easy reach.
This site suits a small-scale developer or investor seeking a quick-start opportunity. The existing permission follows the street building line and expects parking to the sides; buyers can also seek a variation to permit a single larger dwelling if preferred, subject to local authority approval. The plot could support two family homes or one bespoke residence with a larger garden.
Notable costs and constraints are factual and material. Developer contributions and a legal agreement will be required for schools, Waverley and affordable housing contributions; an indication of these costs has not been provided and will depend on the proposed build. The surrounding area is identified as very deprived, which may affect rental values or target market. The site has an overgrown garden area and an existing shed that require clearance and basic maintenance prior to development works.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to secure freehold development land in an established residential area close to transport links. It offers practical development potential but requires budget allowance for statutory contributions, any planning variations, and initial site clearance.
