Outline planning for four bespoke family villas on a large semi‑rural freehold plot..
Outline planning approved for up to four detached family villas (2x3-bed, 2x4-bed)
Large freehold plot approximately 3,200m² with direct road frontage
Existing mid‑20th century bungalow and outbuildings on site (modernisation/demolition required)
Semi‑rural setting with open countryside views and neighbouring detached homes
Good commuter links to M8 and M74; strong mobile signal
Very slow fixed broadband on site; may deter some buyers
Local area classified as very deprived — impacts pricing and demand
Outline consent only: reserved matters, services and build costs to resolve
A rare development parcel on Wishaw Road offering outline planning for four bespoke detached family villas. The full freehold plot extends to approximately 3,200m² and sits in a prominent but semi‑rural Bogside position with direct road frontage and straightforward vehicular access. Outline consent for two three‑bed and two four‑bed villas provides a clear route to a medium‑term uplift once reserved matters and build works are progressed.
The site includes an existing mid‑20th century bungalow with outbuildings and extensive lawns. The bungalow is modest and will require modernization or demolition depending on your scheme; the wider parcel is largely level and adjoins open farmland, making servicing and plot division relatively uncomplicated given neighbouring residences. Excellent mobile signal and motorway links (M8/M74) support commuter appeal to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Key risks and practical considerations are clear: permission is outline only and reserved matters, SUDS, and build costs will determine final viability. Broadband speeds on site are very slow and the local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect market pricing and demand dynamics. These factors, combined with the sizeable plot and bespoke house potential, make the site best suited to a developer, landbanker or investor able to manage planning, construction and marketing of executive family homes.
