This substantial 20.742-hectare (51.25-acre) parcel on the eastern edge of Stalbridge benefits from outline planning permission on appeal for up to 160 dwellings, public open space and 2 hectares reserved for a primary school. The permission (APP/D1265/W/23/3333249; P/OUT/2023/02643) confirms access off Station Road and includes a defined Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) area, making the scheme-ready at outline stage for a residential-led development.
The land is broadly level with agricultural use and hedged boundaries, crossed by two public footpaths and bounded by open countryside and a small industrial estate. Practical advantages include vacant possession on completion and a detailed Data Room of technical reports, planning documents, utilities information and ground investigation reports to support due diligence. Broadband speeds are listed as fast and local crime levels are very low.
Buyers should note material obligations and costs: the purchaser will be responsible for the agreed S106 contributions, the site is elected for VAT, and an agreed legal cost undertaking of up to £20,000 applies if a purchaser withdraws after Heads of Terms. The sales process invites overage/value uplift provisions within offers, and any conditional bids must be clearly stated.
This opportunity suits housing developers or strategic land investors seeking a large, consented site in a semi-rural Dorset town. While the outline consent significantly de-risks the delivery route, purchasers should factor in S106 liabilities, biodiversity delivery, public right-of-way diversions if required, and the value impacts of VAT and any overage agreements.
