This rare, implemented development site in Moreton Say benefits from full planning history and paid contributions, offering clear deliverability for a small residential scheme. Consent permits 16 dwellings (including two affordable homes) with approved reserved matters and 2024 variations; pre-commencement conditions were discharged and works undertaken to implement the consent in 2018. The western parcel includes existing farm buildings and a licence will be granted to remove adjacent silage pit and slurry store, returning that land to agricultural use.
The combined site extends to about 1.80 acres (0.73 ha) with an approved footprint of approximately 19,438 sq ft. It sits in a pleasant North Shropshire village setting three miles from Market Drayton and offers fast broadband, very low crime and no flood risk — practical positives for future purchasers or occupiers. The two parcels lie either side of the village lane and benefit from straightforward rural views and proximity to a well-regarded local primary school.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the site is in a remoter, agricultural community with limited immediate services beyond the village; tenure is recorded as unknown and any purchaser must satisfy themselves of title and statutory matters. Although CIL and affordable housing monies have been paid, the purchaser will need to progress on-site works, adopt the approved layouts, and manage removal/reinstatement of existing farm infrastructure where required.
For a developer or investor seeking a deliverable small-scale scheme in a rural North Shropshire location, this site offers a low-planning-risk opportunity with immediate potential to proceed. The combination of implemented consent, included outbuildings, and rural appeal makes it suitable for a housing developer, small national builder or a local housebuilder able to manage rural servicing and build-out.
