A substantial 3.5 acre (1.42 ha) freehold site on Meft Road, Urquhart, offered as a residential development opportunity for up to 20 houses. The eastern parcel (R1) previously held full planning permission for 10 dwellings (Moray Council ref: 20/00120/APP) — that consent lapsed on 17 February 2025. The western parcel is allocated for housing in the Moray Council Local Development Plan 2020 with an indicative capacity for a further 10 units.
This site will appeal to developers and small housebuilders seeking a village location six miles from Elgin with scope for family homes, communal green space and gardens. A developer contribution of £21,932 has been paid, and there is direct access from Meft Road. The land is freehold and shown as having no flood risk.
Important practical points: services are understood to be available in the vicinity but their exact locations and capacities must be confirmed by interested parties. Broadband speeds are reported slow. The site sits within an area described as very deprived and remoter rural community — factors that may influence demand, planning expectations and grant/affordable housing requirements.
In short, this is a sizable, clearly signposted development plot with established local policy support for expansion. It requires an immediate planning strategy to renew or replace the expired consent and careful due diligence on services and local market demand before committing to build.
