A sizable 1.05-acre freehold plot in Colne offering clear development potential close to local amenities. The site previously had permission for 22 apartments and currently has proposals for nine detached homes (planning application 17/0005, Pendle), giving buyers flexibility in approach subject to local authority approvals.
Services are reported close by and the site slopes south-to-north, enabling two- to three-storey development and views towards Pendle Hill. The land is vacant with naturally seeded trees and bushes and vehicular access is taken from Ivegate into a private car park area.
Important considerations: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. Buyers must verify service locations and capacities and should allow for planning confirmation, site clearance and typical infrastructure costs.
At the quoted price this parcel suits developers or investors targeting medium-scale residential schemes or redevelopment. The combination of prior permissions, size and location makes it a strategic opportunity, but realistic budgets should include mitigation for infrastructure, security concerns and any planning conditions the council may impose.
