0.47-acre infill site with outline consent near Durham, suitable for townhouse development.
Outline planning for up to nine dwellings (ref DM/23/02660/OUT)
A rare infill development plot close to Durham city, this very large 0.47-acre site benefits from outline planning consent (ref DM/23/02660/OUT) for up to nine dwellings (eight townhouses and one detached house). The location sits 2.5 miles from Durham city centre, with good local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — attributes that support strong rental or sale prospects.
The consent is outline only with all matters reserved, giving flexibility to finalise layouts, finishes and dwelling mix but requiring reserved matters approval. The existing former Royal British Legion building will need demolition, and the land’s current use class (A4/D2) means alternative commercial or residential proposals may be possible subject to planning. Tenure is not specified and prospective buyers should verify title and any planning obligations, S106 requirements or infrastructure contributions.
This site suits small-housebuilders, investors targeting townhouses for the owner-occupier market, or conversion to alternative residential schemes such as student housing or self-build plots (subject to planning). Low local crime, affluent area indicators and proximity to strong schools add appeal for family buyers once developed. Buyers should allow budget and time for reserved matters, demolition, and any statutory consents before construction.
