A rare riverside block of pasture totalling about 32.82 acres, offered as one holding or in three adjoining Lots. The land includes long frontage to the River Lugg (a designated SSSI), productive grassland and a large registered common known as Midsummer Meadow. Its scale and river edge make it attractive to conservation buyers, those seeking Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) opportunities and agricultural occupiers.
An initial ecological scoping has suggested potential to create c.70 BNG units across the whole site; a copy of the report is available on request. The holding is already registered with the Rural Payments Agency, though delinked Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are reserved to the vendor. Lot 1 benefits from prominent road frontage and a convenient shape for access and management.
There are several material points buyers should note. Much of the land lies within the River Lugg flood plain and a small annual payment to the River Lugg Internal Drainage Board is payable for watercourse maintenance. Lot 1 is sold subject to a 40% uplift overage on change of use or development (50-year term). Midsummer Meadow is a registered Common (CL148) with third-party grazing rights and a public footpath crossing Lot 3.
No services are connected and the land lies within a Minerals Safeguarding/Preferred Area under local planning policy; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on planning, BNG potential and any mineral constraints. Viewing is on foot only and further technical details, including the ecologist’s scoping report, can be provided to serious enquiries.
