A substantial freehold development parcel on the edge of Llanfair Caereinion, offered as Phase One with outline planning for 19 homes (P/2017/0200). The site benefits from direct, easy road access onto the A458 and sits in open countryside with expansive, elevated views — attractive to buyers seeking rural new-builds. Utilities (electric, water, drainage) are in close proximity, reducing initial connection complexity.
Outline planning exists for a total of 42 houses across the whole allocation (nine affordable across the scheme) and Phase One carries a 20% affordable housing requirement. A Section 73 variation was granted in March 2021. Phase Two is available separately, so purchasers should allow for the phased delivery of infrastructure and consider the need for full reserved matters, detailed design, and likely on-site infrastructure costs.
The wider location offers low crime levels and straightforward road links to Welshpool (approx. 8 miles) and onward to Shrewsbury, but the local area is classified as very deprived with average broadband and mobile coverage. These factors may influence sales pace and price points for open-market plots. This opportunity suits a developer or investor with experience delivering rural housing, able to manage affordable housing obligations and on-site works to bring the outline consent through to build completion.
Inspection and due diligence are strongly recommended. The sale is by private treaty with vacant possession on completion; purchasers will take the land subject to any existing wayleaves, easements and third-party rights.
