Prime infill site with proven planning precedent near transport and schools.
0.189 acre freehold plot, approx. 8,233 sq ft
A rare development parcel close to local amenities and excellent transport links, offered freehold via auction. The 0.189 acre site sits to the rear of Hedworth Lane and previously accommodated the Boldon Colliery Working Men’s Club, giving a clear brownfield redevelopment setting. Its position in an established residential area provides straightforward access to retail parks, schools and the Tyne and Wear Metro network.
The site benefits from lapsed planning permission for seven three-storey, four-bedroom homes (ST/0670/18/FUL), demonstrating tangible redevelopment potential. Investors and developers can use the expired consent as a material planning lead, but will need to seek renewal or submit a fresh application to proceed. The plot is sizeable (approx. 8,233 sq ft) and largely clear, though soft landscaping and site preparation will be required before construction.
Practical selling points include freehold title, no reported flood risk, very low local crime and fast broadband and mobile connectivity. The surrounding area is described as a comfortable neighbourhood within an ageing, industrious wider classification — useful context for market positioning and likely housing demand. Buyers should note the lot is sold at auction with standard terms and conditions and will require due diligence on planning, services and site conditions before bidding.
This is a targeted opportunity for small-to-medium housebuilders or investors seeking a town-centre infill with demonstrable permission history. Expect to factor in planning re-application costs, site clearance/landscaping and the auction timetable when assessing feasibility.
