A level, grassed 0.2 hectare parcel immediately adjacent to Batford Mill employment land, offering straightforward vehicle access from Lower Luton Road and mature tree screening to the rear. The site sits within the built-up area of Harpenden opposite residential properties and close to local shops, schools and public transport, making it a practical urban extension for employment use.
The current description and planning commentary propose removal from Green Belt and allocation for employment, with potential for five small units or one larger commercial unit subject to planning permission. The land is vacant, not VAT elected, has no flood risk and benefits from fast broadband in the area — all useful for future commercial occupiers.
This lot is sold by Modern Auction. Bidders must accept the auction process, including an undisclosed reserve price and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT), plus buyer fees and identification/funding checks. Buyers should study the Buyer Information Pack and carry out full due diligence on planning, services, tree protection and any other constraints before bidding.
Suitable for developers or commercial owners seeking an employment-site extension in a very affluent area, the parcel represents clear development potential but requires planning consent and careful consideration of Green Belt removal proposals and auction-related purchase costs.
