Summary - Land At Dreva Road, Broughton, Biggar, Lanarkshire ML12 6HG
1 bed 1 bath Land
Seven acres with southerly views and planning progress, suited to developers.
- Planning permission in principle for up to 25 homes (PPA-140-2048)
A rare large-scale development site offering planning permission in principle for up to 25 homes across 7.97 acres in scenic Broughton. The site sits on a southerly slope with long views towards Drumelzier Law, giving prospects for attractive house plots and generous gardens. Transport links make Edinburgh and Glasgow commutable, and local services support village living.
Important cons are transparent: the permission is subject to a Section 75 legal agreement for developer contributions which is in the process of being signed before the decision notice is issued. Scottish Water has indicated limited capacity at the local treatment works and further discussions will be required; utilities are otherwise available. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The surrounding area scores high on deprivation indices, which may affect some funding or grant options.
For a developer or investor this represents clear potential: an agreed contribution package and progress towards the S75 signature reduce planning uncertainty, while the submission to include the site within the settlement boundary could strengthen long-term value. The vendor’s illustrative layout shows a cluster-style scheme and the freehold tenure simplifies title. Buyers should factor in infrastructure costs, drainage upgrades and community contributions when assessing viability.
Short-term works likely include addressing wastewater capacity, confirming infrastructure connections and completing the S75 agreement. Longer-term upside derives from the site’s scale, southerly aspect and strong local demand drivers for rural housing within commuting distance of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
