Full planning granted for two detached homes and bungalow transformation on a huge semi-rural plot.
Full planning permission granted for two detached homes and bungalow transformation
This site on Prescot Road, Melling offers a rare development prospect with full planning permission to build two detached homes and to transform an existing bungalow into a substantial two-storey residence (Sefton DC/2024/02093 and DC/2024/02062). Set on a very large freehold plot with far-reaching views across Greenbelt farmland, the position combines semi-rural privacy with good broadband and nearby amenities.
The approved scheme delivers substantial family-sized dwellings (circa 2,300 sq ft each) and a refurbished bungalow, providing strong rental or resale potential in a market for generous homes with gardens and garages. Driveways and integrated garages are included in the proposals; the site’s size allows private outdoor space for each home and attractive sightlines over open countryside.
Buyers should note material negatives: the immediate area is classed as deprived and recorded local crime levels are high, which may affect purchaser sentiment and lettings. The existing bungalow’s interiors are dated and will require full renovation under the transformation plan. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband availability.
This opportunity will suit developers or investor-owners who can capitalise on planning consent and the plot’s scale while managing local market sensitivities. The location offers access to good local primary and secondary schools and nearby leisure amenities, but purchasers should allow for site servicing, build costs, and marketing positioned to overcome local constraints.
