A freehold building plot on Leeds Road with outline planning approved for five dwellings presents a clear development opportunity in Allerton Bywater. The consent (Leeds City Council ref: 19/01059/OT) proposes two pairs of three-bedroom semi-detached homes and one four-bedroom detached house, each with driveways and private gardens. The plot measures 0.18 hectares (0.44 acres) and offers a straightforward layout for a small housing scheme.
The site is in a residential neighbourhood with good local amenities, fast broadband and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, supporting owner-occupier and family demand. The area’s lower-value market and very affordable council tax may support competitive pricing for new-build homes and attract buy-to-let or first-time buyers when completed.
Key constraints are material to feasibility: the plot is classified as high flood risk and sits in a generally deprived area, which will affect insurance, construction design, and market positioning. Prospective purchasers should allow for flood mitigation measures, potential ground/drainage works, and consult relevant technical surveys. Outline planning is in place, but reserved matters and conditions must still be discharged before building commences.
Offered at £250,000, the parcel could suit a small developer or investor prepared to fund detailed design, flood mitigation and build costs. Carry out full due diligence on site-specific technical reports, planning conditions, and finance options before committing.
