Ready-for-development infill plot with consent for ten homes near Musselburgh.
Detailed planning consent for 10 houses on c.0.9 acre site
Level-to-gently sloping, largely clear plot with peripheral trees
Good street frontage; utilities likely accessible nearby
Adjoins existing suburban housing — simplifies access and services
Borders active railway — noise mitigation required
Irregular triangular shape may limit layout efficiency
Located in an area with high deprivation — demand and values affected
Semi-rural views beyond railway; construction oversight needed
This 0.9-acre triangular parcel on Drummohr Avenue is offered with detailed planning consent for ten houses, presenting a ready-made residential development opportunity at the edge of an established suburban estate. The site is largely clear, level-to-gently sloping, and benefits from good street frontage and proximity to existing services and utilities in the adjacent neighbourhood.
Key advantages include the available consent for a small housing scheme and direct adjacency to medium-density family housing, which should simplify connections for utilities and access. The site offers semi-rural views beyond the nearby railway and a generous plot footprint that supports a ten‑unit layout within the granted consent.
Important constraints are material and should be considered by interested developers: the site borders an active railway line and will require appropriate noise mitigation and potentially engineering works. The irregular triangular shape may limit layout efficiency and drive higher construction or design costs. The wider local area records high deprivation and a predominance of rented terrace housing, which may influence house-type demand and achievable values.
Prospective buyers should factor in infrastructure and mitigation costs, confirm tenure and service connections, and verify all planning conditions before exchange. For a developer seeking a small, consented suburban infill site with clear build potential close to Musselburgh, this parcel offers a practical starting point, provided the railway-adjacent constraints are addressed.
