Permission in Principle granted — self‑build CIL exemption in a village setting.
Established semi-rural plot with mature trees and natural landscaping
A ready-to-develop plot in a semi-rural setting, laid out within mature trees and natural landscaping. Planning Permission in Principle has been granted for a single two‑storey detached dwelling (Chorley B.C., 14 Feb 2025), making this a straightforward opportunity for a self-build or small investor project.
The plot extends to about 550 sq yds (c.460 sq m) and is sold freehold. Mains electricity, gas, water and a connection to the mains sewer are understood to be available, and self-build purchasers can claim exemption from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Convenient village amenities in Adlington are close by and the M61 is within easy reach, giving a good balance of tranquillity and access.
The land retains an overgrown, natural garden with mature trees which will appeal to buyers wanting an established backdrop, but it will need clearance and ongoing landscaping work. Planning is Permission in Principle rather than full approval; buyers should factor in the next design and technical submissions and undertake their own due diligence on services, boundaries and site works.
Overall this is a sensible plot for someone seeking an individual house in a very affluent, low‑flood‑risk area with good local schools and transport links. It suits self‑builders or small developers comfortable managing the next stages of planning and on‑site preparation.
