A substantial development plot of approximately 2.78 acres with planning permission for 14 residential units and 4 office suites. The permission (ref 0203/FUL/23, Dec 2024) renews a prior consent and covers conversion of an existing steading to form six houses and four offices, plus the erection of eight new houses — a clear route to delivery for a housebuilder or development investor.
The site is semi‑rural on the outskirts of Polbeth with good road links: direct access from the A71 and easy connections to the M8/M9, West Calder station and nearby Livingston and Bathgate. Broadband speeds are indicated as fast and mobile signal average, supporting residential and small‑office use. Flooding risk is reported as no risk, and the plot is described as very large — suitable for the approved scheme or alternative layouts subject to consent.
Practical considerations are important. Services (water and electricity) were previously on site but are currently not in use and will require reinstatement. The steading buildings are in a derelict/partially dilapidated condition and need substantial restoration work to achieve the approved conversions. The surrounding area shows higher levels of deprivation, which may affect long‑term pricing and sales strategy; marketing should reflect local demand dynamics.
Offered as a whole at £600,000, this is a delivery‑ready opportunity for a developer or investor able to manage building works, reconnect services and complete the conversions. Health and safety risks exist on site; inspections should be undertaken with care and with appropriate professional due diligence on planning, services and construction costs.
