This large freehold parcel in Long Preston offers a rare, plug-and-play residential development within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Full planning permission (Decision 17 May 2024, App C/52/57C) is granted for ten new dwellings — six open-market houses and four affordable homes/flats — providing an immediate route to delivery for a developer or investor.
The approved scheme includes a mix of terraces, semi-detached and detached homes, some with detached garages, and unit sizes from about 70m² to 164m² GIA. The village setting combines rural appeal with practical links: village services, a primary school, a post office, and a railway station on the Morecambe–Leeds line. Settle is four miles north, widening market and sales potential.
Important practical points are clear and factual: there are currently no on-site services, so buyers must allow for connections and infrastructure costs. Planning restricts the site to the ten approved units (six open-market; four affordable/local occupancy), and construction will require investment in roads, drainage and utilities. The site is level, bounded by traditional dry-stone walls and fronts the A65, which simplifies access provision but also means careful design to respect national park planning requirements.
For a buyer seeking a permitted development in a very affluent rural catchment, this site reduces planning risk and fast-tracks delivery. Budget realistically for service connections, build costs and the affordable housing obligations when assessing projected returns.
