Derelict, overgrown land requiring clearance before development

An attractive low-cost development plot of around 0.29 acres on the northern edge of Newbigging, offered with planning permission in principle (original 2014, renewed 2018 under CL/17/0524) for a single-storey dwelling. The level site is largely derelict and overgrown, giving a clean slate for a small new build. Its rural position offers scenic, undisturbed surroundings while remaining within commuting distance of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
This plot will suit a small-scale developer, self-builder or investor seeking a countryside project at a modest entry price. Services and final planning approvals are not guaranteed; buyers should confirm full planning consent, service connections, utilities and any build constraints before purchase. The tenure is unknown and council tax banding not provided.
Practical considerations: the land is overgrown and will need clearance prior to building. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect future resale values or rental demand. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are reported fast, supporting modern living. Anti-money laundering checks and identity verification will be required prior to offers being accepted.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable plot for a single dwelling with clear potential for a modest rural home or a small development flip, provided the buyer completes due diligence on planning, services and tenure.
