16.8 acres with PPP for up to 145 homes, near rail link to Edinburgh.
Approximately 16.8 acres of greenfield land
This 16.8-acre greenfield site south of The Avenue in Lochgelly offers a rare medium-scale residential development opportunity with Planning Permission in Principle for up to 145 homes. The land is roughly rectangular, gently sloping north to south-east, and sits adjacent to established residential neighbourhoods with open countryside and nearby loch views — appealing for family housing or mixed-tenure schemes.
Connectivity is a practical strength: Lochgelly station provides trains to Edinburgh in under an hour, and the site reports excellent mobile coverage and fast broadband. The location lies within the Lochgelly Strategic Land Allocation, which supports delivery potential, but detailed servicing arrangements and infrastructure costs will need confirming with local authorities and utility providers.
Buyers should note material considerations: the site is currently agricultural with undetermined tenure and will require the usual on-site works and statutory consents beyond Planning Permission in Principle. The wider area scores as ‘very deprived’ which may affect demand profile, tenure mix and viability assumptions. There is no flood risk recorded, and the site is bounded by The Avenue to the north with hedgerow to the west.
For developers and investors targeting low-rise housing near regional transport links, this parcel provides scale and planning upside. Proceed with detailed due diligence on ground conditions, service connections, developer contributions and local market demand to confirm feasibility.
