Very large freehold plot with full planning for five homes in desirable Irby..
Full planning for four new detached dormer houses plus bungalow refurbishment
A rare, ready-to-go development site with full planning for five dwellings (planning ref APP/22/01507). The 0.493-acre freehold plot sits in an affluent, low-crime Irby neighbourhood and includes refurbishment consent for the existing detached bungalow plus four new detached dormer houses and a new access road.
The existing bungalow is derelict and will require substantial repair works as part of the scheme — roof damage, overgrown grounds and general neglect are evident. Construction history suggests cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed); buyers should allow for modernisation of fabric and services, and confirm details with surveys.
Practical strengths include mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), fast broadband, no flooding risk and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The site footprint and layout suit family-sized, traditional-style homes with private gardens, making the scheme attractive to owner-occupiers or higher-quality rental stock.
This is a development-for-completion opportunity rather than a turnkey sale: expect demolition/repair programmes, enabling works for the new access, and full build costs. The clear planning position reduces planning risk, but buyers should commission up-to-date technical, party-wall and highways checks before exchange.
