Rare freehold 0.59-acre plot with permission for four detached homes beside Corporation Park.
Planning permission for up to four detached dwellings (App. No. 10/22/0412, granted 16/02/2023)
A rare development opportunity in Blackburn: this 0.59-acre freehold plot sits beside Corporation Park and benefits from planning permission for up to four detached dwellings (App. No. 10/22/0412 granted 16 Feb 2023). The site’s tree-lined edges and proximity to a large Victorian park give new homes strong appeal for buyers seeking green, established surroundings within a major town.
The land is currently overgrown and will require clearing and site preparation before construction — an upfront cost to budget. Services are believed available for connection, including drainage to the main sewer, but purchasers should verify utility connections and capacity. The site lies adjacent to a Conservation Area, so designs will need to respect local heritage controls and any council guidance.
Priced at £190,000 freehold, the plot offers scope for a small bespoke scheme aimed at families or owner-occupiers attracted to quiet park-side living. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support residential demand. This is best suited to a developer or investor comfortable managing early-stage site works and navigating conservation-area requirements.
