This very large, freehold plot on Rufford Road offers a rare small-scale development opportunity in Edwinstowe. Outline planning permission (Ref: 22/02417/OUT, granted March 2023) allows up to four new dwellings, with access the only matter not reserved. The existing Lidgett House is to be partly demolished and retained by the vendor, and a detached garage for the retained dwelling is included in the outline consent.
The site suits a boutique developer or an investor seeking a value-add scheme in a desirable village setting close to Sherwood Forest and local amenities. Fast broadband, good nearby schools and easy road links add market appeal for family homes. The plot’s mature trees, hedgerow and characterful existing house create scope for sensitive design that complements the area.
Important practical points: permission is outline only, so detailed design, layout and landscaping will require reserved matters approval. The existing dwelling will need renovation or partial demolition as noted in the permission. The site sits on the town fringe with average local crime and services, and any purchase should allow time and budget for detailed planning, highways work for access, and build costs associated with a character location.
Overall this is a strategically positioned parcel with genuine development upside for the buyer prepared to manage the reserved matters process and build programme. Full planning documents are available from Newark and Sherwood District Council under the stated reference for due diligence.
