Potential for up to forty residential plots with coastal and hill views near Kirkwall hospital..
6.6-acre freehold plot on Kirkwall outskirts
A substantial freehold holding of approximately 6.6 acres on the outskirts of Kirkwall, offered as a whole or in smaller parcels. The adopted O.I.C. Kirkwall Development Plan (13 Dec 2016) indicates potential for up to 40 housing plots, with many sites benefiting from views towards Scapa Flow or Wideford Hill. Its position close to the hospital and local amenities makes it a logical option for a housing scheme aimed at local demand.
This site is most suited to developers or investors prepared to progress planning, services and access. There is no recorded flood risk, and the scale of the plot provides flexibility in layout and phasing. The land’s rural character and sea/hill vistas are clear value drivers for mid-market or mixed housing proposals.
Important considerations: the Plan indicates potential rather than granted planning permission, and utilities, access arrangements and detailed site surveys are not confirmed. Broadband speeds are slow and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which could affect market positioning and grant or funding eligibility. Prospective purchasers should commission full technical and planning due diligence before exchange.
