This 0.59-acre freehold plot sits in an established Blackburn location adjoining Corporation Park, offering a rare development opportunity within a mature, tree-lined setting. Planning permission (App.No.10/22/0412) was granted on 16 February 2023 for the erection of up to four detached dwellings, making the site immediately attractive to small developers or local investor-builders.
The land is currently overgrown and will require clearing and basic site preparation before construction. Mains services and sewer connections are believed available but not confirmed; buyers should carry out their own technical and statutory enquiries. Proximity to a Victorian conservation area and listed park features adds appeal but may also introduce additional planning conditions or ecological constraints that need investigation.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding — useful for marketing family homes. The site’s location on a quiet, residential street beside extensive parkland supports schemes focused on spacious detached homes that benefit from green outlooks.
In summary, the plot offers clear development potential at a modest entry price, but it suits purchasers prepared to manage initial site clearance, confirm services, and navigate possible conservation-related planning requirements. For developers seeking a small, well-located scheme close to public open space, this is a straightforward option with tangible resale or rental appeal.
