Summary - Residential Development Site for Sale – Land North of Lakeber Drive, Bentham, Carnforth, LA2 7JG LA2 7JG
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large greenfield plot with outline consent for 27 homes, close to transport links.
Outline planning permission for 27 dwellings (8 affordable, 30%)
This is a ready-for-delivery greenfield development plot extending to about 0.87 hectares (2.15 acres) with outline planning permission for 27 dwellings, of which 8 (30%) are affordable. The consent (North Yorkshire Council, 31 March 2025; App No. 2022/24484/OUT) is approved with all matters reserved except access, so purchasers will need to progress reserved matters and house-type designs.
The site sits on the northern edge of Bentham, bordering attractive countryside and within easy reach of local shops, primary schooling and the Leeds–Morecambe rail line. Road links to local centres and junction 34 of the M6 are straightforward, and the setting offers pleasant rural outlooks and mature boundary planting that can be used to enhance scheme landscaping.
Important commercial conditions are already in place: the approval is subject to a S106 Agreement (dated 28 March 2025) requiring a public open space contribution of £95,742 and delivery of 30% affordable housing. The land is freehold and comes with supporting reports (ecology, drainage appraisal, arboriculture, access appraisal) available via a data room to assist technical due diligence.
Practical considerations for developers include required reserved matters submissions, likely attenuation/landscaping works linked to drainage, and a noted slow fixed broadband speed in the area. The site is offered for sale with a preference for unconditional offers; purchasers should check the sales format (private treaty / auction references appear in the particulars) and provide proof of funding and proposed timescales when submitting offers.
