Summary - THE OLD MILL, SHILLINGSTONE LANE, BLANDFORD FORUM, OKEFORD FITZPAINE DT11 0RB
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Brownfield development opportunity on village edge with strong local connectivity.
Outline planning for 47 market dwellings granted
A substantial brownfield opportunity on the edge of Okeford Fitzpaine, offered with outline planning permission to demolish the existing industrial building and deliver 47 market dwellings. The site extends to c.2.58 hectares (7.05 acres), providing a clear canvas for a residential scheme subject to completion of a Section 106 Agreement. Its size and planning status make it a strong proposition for residential developers and housing investors.
The location combines rural character with practical connectivity. Shillingstone Lane links directly to the A357 and nearby Blandford and Sturminster Newton, while local village amenities include a shop, post office and pub. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent respectively, and the site is recorded as having no flood risk and low local crime — useful considerations for market sales.
Material points to note: the consent is outline only and a Section 106 Agreement must be completed before development can proceed; the existing industrial structure will need demolition; the tenure is not specified. Offers are invited on an unconditional and/or conditional basis, with a bid deadline of 12 noon on Thursday 20 March 2025. This listing is suited to purchasers comfortable progressing S106 obligations and designing detailed proposals from an outline consent.
