0.51ha development plot with outline consent near Sherborne and A303.
Outline planning permission for 5 open-market dwellings
An attractive development opportunity on approximately 0.51 hectares (1.26 acres) in a peaceful Dorset setting, this plot benefits from outline planning permission for five new-build, open-market dwellings with associated infrastructure works. The site sits close to the A303 with easy access to Sherborne, combining rural privacy with useful transport links — a clear draw for buyers seeking homes outside urban centres.
The land includes a cluster of farm outbuildings and barns that underline the site’s agricultural character and provide scope for adaptation or ancillary uses subject to consent. A separately offered detailed planning consent exists for converting a former airfield fire station into a single dwelling, which may suit purchasers wanting an immediate, deliverable project alongside the outline site.
Important practical points are straightforward: flooding risk is reported as none, broadband speeds are fast and local crime levels are very low. However, the planning is outline only — reserved matters and detailed approvals will be required before housebuilding can commence. Tenure details are not provided and purchasers should verify service connections, access arrangements and any planning conditions before exchange.
Offered by private treaty with unconditional offers invited, this is best suited to developers, small housebuilders or investors able to progress design and detailed planning. The combination of scale, location and existing consents creates clear potential, but buyers must allow time and budget for the next stages of consent and site preparation.
