This 1.36-hectare (3.37-acre) site on Station Road, Alford, comes with full planning consent for 29 dwellings across two phases, offering a ready-made development footprint for housebuilders or residential investors. The consented mix includes bungalows, detached and semi‑detached houses, and associated garages — providing variety suited to a market of retirees and small families in a market‑town setting. The site is currently grassland with straightforward access from Station Road and benefits from open countryside views to the north.
The town of Alford supports a broad range of local amenities, a weekly market, and schools including a selective secondary ranked in the top 10%. The site is about seven miles from the east coast and within reach of nearby towns (Louth, Horncastle, Skegness), making it attractive to residents seeking rural living with good local services. Broadband is reported as fast and mobile signal average, supporting modern home requirements.
Key constraints are material and must be factored into an offer. The consent carries S106 contributions and a Biodiversity Net Gain requirement; there are no affordable homes within the approved scheme. The site sits within an area described as deprived, and tenure is unknown. These factors will affect build‑out costs, timing and sales mix. Groundworks and service connections are not described and should be verified by purchasers.
For a developer or investor prepared to manage planning obligations and biodiversity requirements, this parcel presents a near-term delivery opportunity with a consented layout and local demand drivers. Due diligence should include detailed cost planning for S106 and Biodiversity Net Gain, utility connection enquiries, and confirmation of tenure and any further site-specific constraints.
