Summary - 5, NORMAN WAY GL17 9YP
Outline planning previously approved but now lapsed (P1741/18/OUT)
Small building plot adjacent to an existing residence
Bordered by mature trees; semi-rural village setting
No flood risk; fast broadband available
Parking/garage and garden space shown in former proposals
Tenure unknown — investigate title and covenants
Area shows higher deprivation; may affect resale/mortgage options
Plot is overgrown and will require site clearance and surveys
A rarely available vacant plot in the village of Ruardean, offering a discreet development opportunity for a self-builder or investor. The site sits adjacent to an existing residence and is edged by mature trees, giving a semi-rural feel and scope for a small detached dwelling with private garden and parking.
Outline planning for a detached house (ref: P1741/18/OUT) was previously approved but has lapsed, so a new application will be needed. The plot appears suitable for a modest home with garage and amenity space; buyers should allow time and budget for planning, technical surveys and any site clearance of overgrowth.
Practical positives include no identified flood risk, fast broadband and village amenities nearby (primary school, post office, surgery). Material considerations: tenure is unknown, the plot is small and situated in an area with higher levels of deprivation, and the previous planning approval is no longer valid — these factors may affect mortgage availability and timescales.
This is best suited to a developer, small-house builder or investor prepared to manage the planning process and basic site preparation. For those seeking a quiet village setting with countryside views and realistic scope for a single dwelling, the plot offers tangible potential if approached with a clear planning strategy.
