Prime Market Harborough plot with extant consent and adjoining major housing scheme.
Approximately 2.85 acres (1.15 ha) freehold development land
A substantial development parcel of approximately 2.85 acres (1.15 ha) at Compass Point, Market Harborough, offered freehold. The site sits within a partially built wider scheme and adjoins a major Persimmon Homes residential development of around 350 units, giving clear context and potential for integration with surrounding housing.
Extant planning permission exists (granted September 2006, Ref. 06/01038/REM) for six office buildings with landscaping and car parking, providing an immediate baseline consent to inform feasibility. The flat, undeveloped nature of the plot and prominent roadside frontage simplify initial site access and construction logistics.
Suites of sale terms are possible, including unconditional or conditional sale (subject to new planning). Buyers should note the age of the extant consent and factor in modern planning expectations and potential infrastructure or service upgrades. Local indicators are mixed: the wider area is characterised as very affluent, with fast broadband and good nearby schools, but recorded local crime levels are high and detailed due diligence on services, drainage, and site remediation will be necessary.
This opportunity will suit developers or investors targeting a sizeable urban-edge plot with established neighbouring housing momentum. The site presents clear scope for redevelopment or for pursuing refreshed planning proposals aligned with current market demand.
