Near-acre cleared site with planning for detached family homes close to station and amenities.
Planning approval in place (APP/N4205/W/19/3243960) with pre-commencement conditions discharged
A rare near-acre development parcel in Lostock with full planning approval for three detached homes, pre-commencement conditions discharged. The site’s elevated, sloping topography and woodland setting create strong potential for homes with valley views and private rear gardens. Located c.400m from Lostock station and close to Middlebrook retail, the site balances semi-rural character with excellent local amenities and fast broadband.
Practical benefits include direct access from Dentdale Close and mains services available nearby. The existing consent (APP/N4205/W/19/3243960) and discharged pre-commencement conditions reduce early planning risk for a small developer or investor aiming for a straightforward build-out. Drawings show 2.5-storey pitched-roof family house types with good glazing to the rear living areas.
Constraints that will affect delivery are material and should be budgeted: the parcel lies within a designated wildlife corridor, so ecology protections and mitigation measures will be required. There is mature woodland and an existing pond/standing water feature inside the redline that may incur additional site investigation, drainage and habitat management costs. Topography is gently to moderately sloping, necessitating temporary earthworks and retaining solutions in places.
Overall this is a large, well-located small development opportunity where value will be driven by achievable plot yield, the cost of ecological mitigation/servicing and access implementation. The site will suit a developer or investor comfortable managing ecological constraints to deliver three quality detached family homes, with potential scope for an extra plot subject to planning.
