A substantial circa 0.76 acre (0.308 ha) development plot on Main Street, Distington, sold as a ruin/derelict site. The land sits close to local amenities and several good-rated primary and secondary schools, offering clear scope for a residential redevelopment scheme for builders or investors. Initial enquiries to the local planning authority have been carried out, but planning permission has not been granted.
The site offers strong physical advantages: a very large plot, no flood risk, and excellent mobile signal. The existing ruin will require demolition, clearance and reconstruction or significant renovation, so purchasers should factor in holding and rebuild costs. Tenure is unknown and will need to be confirmed before exchange.
This is an opportunity for a developer or investor who can manage planning risk in a very deprived area where land values may reflect local economic conditions. Slow broadband and the local area classification (industrious hardship; endeavouring social renters) are relevant considerations for any residential marketing strategy. Full details of the initial planning enquiries are available on request.
