Rare 1.48-acre freehold with planning for nine homes — delivery-ready for developers and investors.
Approximately 1.48 acres (0.60 ha) development site with full consent for nine dwellings
An uncommon, fully consented development site of about 1.48 acres in sought-after Lea Marston, offered freehold by informal tender. Full planning permission (variation granted 26 April 2021) exists for nine private dwellings with associated access, parking and landscaping — several planning conditions have been discharged and a Data Room is available for technical review. The site sits opposite Lea Marston Resort and is within walking distance of local amenities and leisure trails, with excellent road and rail links to Birmingham, Leicester and London. Flood risk is nil; mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are average.
This opportunity will suit a developer or investor wanting a largely turnkey consent in a prosperous rural setting. There is no Section 106 agreement attached and, to the vendor’s understanding, CIL is not chargeable locally — prospective purchasers must however satisfy themselves on any CIL liability. The existing access from Haunch Lane is to be upgraded under the consent and Plot 10 (a 3-bed bungalow) has already been built out by the landowner, demonstrating delivery potential on site.
Buyers should note several practical and contractual points: sale is by informal tender requiring the Purchaser to meet the Landowner’s legal costs; overage provisions may apply as set out in the Bid Proforma; mineral, sporting and timber rights (if owned) are included but should be independently investigated. The village lies within a conservation area with many listed buildings nearby, so any future material amendments beyond the consent could face additional scrutiny.
Overall this is a rare, large-plot development parcel in an affluent village location with planning in place and strong transport links. It offers clear development upside for a purchaser comfortable with the tender process, outstanding pre-application documentation and standard post-consent obligations.
