Summary - Land At Durants Cottage, Melling Lane, Merseyside, Maghull, Merseyside, L31 L31 3DG
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large consented plot near Maghull station with strong canal aspect and ready development potential.
Planning permission for eight dwellings across approx. 1.025 acres
A rare canal‑side development parcel in established Maghull with full planning permission for eight homes across approximately 1.025 acres. The consented scheme delivers two large four‑bedroom detached houses overlooking the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, four three‑storey three‑bedroom semi‑detached houses, and replacement/rebuilds of existing cottages, providing a mix attractive to families and investor developers.
The site’s principal strengths are the granted planning consent, substantial overall area for an in‑town infill plot, strong transport links (close to Maghull train station) and desirable canal outlook to the rear. Parking is accommodated within the scheme and a new spine road plus pedestrian access to Melling Lane are included in the consented layout.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the elongated site shape and proximity to a railway line may constrain layout flexibility and amenity for some plots. Several existing structures require demolition and rebuild, so there will be demolition, construction and potentially abnormal cost considerations to factor into project viability. Flooding risk is recorded as low and broadband/mobile connectivity is good, supporting modern residential occupiers.
