Large freehold plot with outline planning and southerly Greenbelt views, ideal for a self-builder..
- Large freehold plot circa 1,265 sq m (0.31 acres)
A substantial freehold building plot on Goose Green Avenue with outline planning permission for a detached bungalow or dormer bungalow. The site extends to approximately 1,265 sq m (0.31 acres) and includes an additional parcel, creating unusually generous proportions for a town-fringe plot. The rear of the plot faces southerly open pastureland washed over as Greenbelt, delivering long, open views and plenty of garden potential.
This opportunity suits a self-build buyer or small developer seeking a straightforward consent: Chorley Borough Council granted outline permission (layout and scale) on 15 December 2022 (App. No. 21/00733/OUT). Buyers constructing a self-build may also claim exemption from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Mains electricity, gas, water and sewer connections are understood to be available, and there is no recorded flood risk.
Important practical points: the consent is outline (layout and scale) rather than full/implementation, so reserved matters and full building regulation approvals will be required before construction. Prospective purchasers should confirm service connections, boundaries and planning conditions independently before exchange. The plot is freehold and sold free from chief rent.
Located close to village amenities, good primary schools and with straightforward access to Chorley and nearby motorways, the site balances semi-rural outlook with practical connectivity. Crime levels are very low and the area is considered affluent with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for modern working-from-home living.
