Affordable town-centre plot with good digital links and motorway access.
Outline planning permission for a residential self-build plot
This vacant plot on London Street offers a clear self‑build route with outline planning permission for a residential plot. Positioned on the town's main thoroughfare, it sits within walking distance of shops, bus stops and local amenities, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for homeworking or modern builds.
The site is freehold and has good road links for commuters, with straightforward access to the M74 and M8. For a first‑time builder this is a pragmatic, lower‑entry way into self‑building: the outline permission reduces planning risk compared with a raw site and gives scope to design a compact home suited to the plot.
Buyers should note the important trade‑offs: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived and ageing urban communities, and the plot sits on a busy main street so noise and privacy will be factors in design. The permission is outline only, so a full planning application and the build will be required. There is also evidence of neighbouring 1980s properties and some neglect to nearby gardens, so landscaping and boundary works may be needed.
This parcel suits someone comfortable managing a full self‑build or engaging designers and builders to convert outline consent into a finished home. If you want a central location with good digital connectivity and direct motorway access, and you accept the extra work a self‑build requires, this plot presents a tangible, affordable opportunity.
