A substantial, largely level development plot of 4.33 acres (1.75 ha) on the edge of Wheelton, with outline planning consent (appeal APP/D2320/W/22/3312908) for up to 40 dwellings. The site fronts Blackburn Road and benefits from good vehicular access and fast broadband — attractive to housebuilders and residential developers seeking a countryside-edge scheme close to motorway links (M61, M65, M6).
The consent is outline only with all other matters reserved; a signed S106 secures 35% affordable housing (70% social rent / 30% intermediate) and a playing pitch contribution of £1,599 per dwelling. CIL is payable in line with the local charging schedule. An overage deed applies to a small parcel acquired from Lancashire County Council, creating additional payments if more than 40 dwellings are later consented, and a 25-year overage period applies.
Technical reports and planning documents are held in a data room (registration required). The site is offered freehold with vacant possession. Purchasers should allow for reserved matters submissions, statutory contributions, CIL, and the overage obligations when modelling viability. The location, school provision and affluent local area make this a strong candidate for a mixed market and affordable housing scheme, subject to detailed design and approvals.
Drawbacks: permission is outline only (reserved matters needed), the S106 affordable housing requirement materially affects unit mix and receipts, CIL and playing-pitch contributions apply, and overage payments may be payable for additional dwellings on the acquired parcel. Prospective buyers must carry out their own title, services and abnormal cost enquiries.
