Large pasture plot with promoted development potential close to Dalkeith.
Approximately 2.87 acres of permanent pasture
A substantial 2.87-acre parcel of permanent pasture in Lawfield Estate, positioned between Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg and Newtongrange. The field is graded 3.1 (James Hutton Research Institute) and currently offers straightforward agricultural uses such as grazing or equestrian paddocks, with good access via a track by Station Cottage.
Lot 6 has been promoted for residential development through Midlothian Council’s emerging Local Development Plan, which is the primary value driver for investors and developers. Mobile signal and broadband are reported as excellent and fast respectively, supporting rural living or serviced plots if development is approved.
Important constraints and unknowns are clear: promotion in an emerging plan is not consent — planning remains subject to the council process and conditions. The northwestern boundary is unfenced, tenure is unspecified, and connections to services (water, drainage, mains electricity) are not confirmed. The surrounding wider area shows social deprivation indicators, which may influence marketability and policy outcomes.
This lot suits buyers seeking a tactical land holding with agricultural income potential now and speculative development upside later. A full due diligence package is recommended: land title and rights of way checks, ecology and heritage surveys, services feasibility, and a review of the Local Development Plan and any promoted development briefs before committing.
