A substantial freehold development site of circa 9.43 acres (3.82 ha) on the edge of Melton Mowbray, with full planning permission for 29 dwellings and clear potential for alternative uses such as retirement or care (subject to consents). The land sits in an attractive semi-rural setting with mature boundary trees and open agricultural fields beyond, offering privacy and countryside outlooks about 0.5 miles south of Melton Mowbray.
The site benefits from vacant possession and previous buildings have been demolished and cleared. Key practical points: there is an unregistered section of access between the site and Sandy Lane that requires review; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average; there is no on-site affordable housing within the current permission. Flood risk is low and local crime levels are very low, making the location appealing for family housing, retirement living or a care-led redevelopment.
This opportunity suits developers, specialist operators and investors seeking a large, flexible parcel in an affluent rural catchment with good transport links to Leicester and Nottingham. Offers and joint-venture proposals are invited by informal tender; any redevelopment will need to confirm detailed servicing and access arrangements and meet necessary consents for alternative uses.
