Summary - Land To The North Of The A565, Banks, Southport, Lancashire, PR9 8AL PR9 8AL
1 bed 1 bath Land
3.9-acre development opportunity near Banks; planning potential but with 50-year overage covenant.
Approximately 3.9 acres (1.57 ha) greenfield site adjacent to residential development
This is a substantial 3.9-acre greenfield parcel immediately north of the A565, offered at public online auction. The site is identified in West Lancashire’s SHELAA (BA.019) and has been highlighted locally as potentially suitable for retail or housing, so it will interest developers and investors prepared to pursue planning. Physical advantages include very low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and immediate adjacency to an existing residential development and local amenities.
Important constraints are clear and material: there are no planning permissions in place, and the sale is subject to a 50-year overage/deed of covenant that triggers a payment if planning consent is obtained for non-agricultural use or if development ties to adjoining lands. The tenure is listed as unknown; buyers must review the legal pack. The site description also notes drainage issues and an irregular parcel shape that will affect layout and servicing costs.
This lot is being sold at auction with bidding closing on 24 September 2025; interested parties should carry out full due diligence, seek pre-application planning advice from West Lancashire Borough Council, and review the legal documents for buyer’s premiums, additional fees, and the overage provisions. For the right buyer—one who factors in planning risk and covenant liabilities—this offers a low-cost entry to a large development opportunity on the edge of an affluent area.
