Summary - Great Hallingbury, Bishop's Stortford CM22 7TP
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Outline approval and large gardens; flexible for redevelopment or renovation.
Outline approval for 4 x 4‑bed detached houses (approx. 1,800 sq ft each)
This very large 0.6-acre site on the edge of Great Hallingbury has outline planning approval for four detached 4‑bed houses (approx. 1,800 sq ft each), with a reserved matters application for site layout, access and landscaping submitted and due 26/12/2025. The plan shows a single shared entrance and central driveway serving four generous plots with substantial private gardens, mature boundary planting and a countryside aspect — an attractive, low-density scheme for family homes or a small bespoke development.
The existing prefabricated 5‑bed bungalow is structurally sound but in poor cosmetic condition, giving scope either to renovate and retain a home while building two additional houses, or to implement the approved scheme for four new dwellings. Freehold tenure, no flood risk, fast broadband and good local schools support family occupation and resale value in this affluent village-edge location.
Key planning history is supportive but requires attention: an earlier full application was refused at committee and an appeal was dismissed on a technicality; outline approval UTT/25/1332/OP was confirmed at committee on 17 Sept 2025 and reserved matters (UTT/25/2877/DFO) is pending. This reduces but does not eliminate planning risk — the developer must secure the DFO consent and discharge conditions before starting construction.
Buyers should expect renovation and development costs, on-site works and the usual pre-construction surveys. The site offers clear upside for a small developer or an owner-occupier with development ambitions: substantial private gardens, rural outlook, and established planning momentum balanced against the need to progress reserved matters and manage build costs.
