A rare 5.12-acre development parcel in Shenstone, with planning permission for five large detached new-build homes and far-reaching southerly views across Worcestershire. The approved December 2024 scheme (ref 24/0616/FUL) replaces earlier Class Q consent and establishes residential use, delivering a clear route to implementation for a premium small-scheme development.
The site includes two substantial agricultural buildings (approx. 1,250 sqm) lying outside the planning red line, offering additional conversion or development potential subject to planning and legal confirmation. Mains water and electricity are connected, mains drainage runs through the site and mains gas is close by—practical services that reduce early-stage infrastructure risk.
Important constraints are transparent: the land is designated greenbelt, and a 35% overage provision applies to any increase in value from development for 25 years. A public footpath runs along the southern boundary and an 11kV underground line follows the northern boundary. Broadband speeds are currently very slow (approx. 22 Mbps) and mobile signal is average—factors to consider for marketing and design.
This opportunity suits developers or investor-owners seeking a high-end, low-density scheme in a desirable rural village setting. The combination of planning in place, large plot area for landscaping, and additional building footprint provides scope to enhance value, but purchasers should factor in greenbelt policy, the overage, site constraints and potential further planning for retained outbuildings.
