A substantial freehold plot on Knoll Croft Road with flexible outline planning permission suitable for residential development. The site extends to approximately one-third of an acre, with services nearby and good road links — five minutes from the M8 and direct rail links to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast, supporting modern build specifications and connectivity needs.
The planning consent is outline only (Application 24/00767/PPP on North Lanarkshire Council records), offering flexibility but requiring further applications for detailed design and approvals. A single garage and garden are shown on the site plan; the layout supports a contemporary single-family home or a small-scale new build scheme, subject to detailed consent and local planning conditions.
Buyers should note the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and “challenged white communities” in local profiling. These social and economic factors could affect resale values and rental demand and may influence funding or insurance terms. The plot is enclosed within a defined perimeter and sits within a residential setting close to local amenities, community facilities and leisure provision.
This opportunity is best suited to builders, small developers or investors who can manage the next stages of planning and deliver a scheme that responds to local context. The combination of a large plot, freehold tenure and good transport links gives clear potential, but realistic budgeting for consent, remediation (if required) and community considerations is essential.
