Outline and reserved matters consent for 3 detached dwellings (one affordable) provided
Site area approximately 0.52 ha (1.26 acres) — compact, manageable development size
Mains water at boundary and mains electricity available nearby (connection costs likely)
Freehold sale with vacant possession; clear title but buyer to verify easements/wayleaves
Adjacent to A483 trunk road — excellent access but potential traffic noise impact
No flood risk; excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for rural location
Local area classed as very deprived — may affect sales values and marketability
Reserved matters consent fixes layout to three homes; further permissions needed for changes
This is a compact residential development parcel of about 0.52 ha (1.26 acres) with both outline planning consent (P/2017/0789) and reserved matters consent (21/0401/RES) for three detached dwellings, one of which is designated affordable. The site sits on the edge of Pool Quay, approximately 3.5 miles north of Welshpool, and benefits from countryside views and direct proximity to the A483 trunk road, giving straightforward access to Welshpool, Oswestry and Shrewsbury.
The site is freehold and will be sold with vacant possession. Mains water is located at the site boundary and mains electricity is available, reducing some initial infrastructure risk; purchasers should budget for connection and on-site servicing. The consents are specific to three dwellings, so the planning position is clear but also limits alternative higher-density schemes without further permissions.
This opportunity suits a small-volume housebuilder or investor seeking a deliverable rural development with an affordable housing requirement already identified. Suitability to market will depend on price sensitivity: the local area is classified as very deprived which can affect sales values and absorption rates compared with nearby larger towns. The site has excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and is not at flood risk.
Material considerations: the site adjoins a busy trunk road (A483), which may introduce traffic noise and affect layout or glazing/specification decisions. Buyers should carry out their own due diligence on service connection costs, ground conditions and any wayleaves or easements that affect construction. The reserved matters consent documentation should be reviewed to confirm plot layouts, elevations and any planning conditions to discharge before development starts.
