Freehold 0.17-acre plot with prior medical consent; planning risk from recent refusal.
Approximately 0.17 acres corner plot with street frontage
A 0.17-acre corner plot in Congleton offering clear development potential in a very affluent, low-crime area. The site previously benefited from consent for a medical centre as part of a larger housing scheme, and its location at the junction of Padgbury Lane and Thistle Close gives straightforward vehicular access and a visible street frontage.
The planning history is mixed and must be considered: an application in 2022 for up to four houses (reduced to three) was refused at committee in January 2023 on grounds of overdevelopment despite an officer recommendation to approve. That history means this lot may suit a buyer with planning experience, a fresh, well-evidenced scheme, or an alternative commercial/community use (all subject to planning). There is no identified flood risk and services/amenities are nearby.
This freehold plot will be sold at auction — a quick, conditional sale route attractive to experienced developers and investors comfortable with the auction process. Successful bidders must meet immediate contractual obligations (deposit, fees) and provide ID and funding evidence under AML regulations. An administration fee of 2.5% (min. £2,500) and any legal pack disbursements will apply; buyers should read the legal pack and seek pre-auction advice.
This lot is a practical prospect for an investor or small developer who can manage the planning risk and auction commitments. It is not a turn-key residential plot: further planning work, fees and possible remediation or design changes should be budgeted for before bidding.
