Summary - MERICOURT SANDYFORTH LANE LIGHTFOOT GREEN PRESTON PR4 0AL
1 bed 1 bath Land
Policy-backed parcel with good road frontage for residential development.
Extends to approximately 1.22 acres (greenfield)
A substantial greenfield parcel extending to approximately 1.22 acres at the junction of William Young Way and Sandyforth Lane, offering a clear canvas for residential development. The site sits within the North West Preston Strategic Location and is covered by the North West Preston Masterplan SPD, giving a favourable policy context and a material framework for coordinated development.
Highways pre-application advice from Lancashire County Council indicates a vehicular access from William Young Way would be acceptable subject to detailed design. There is also a Memorandum of Agreement that enables the transfer back of land compulsorily purchased for the East West Link Road on grant of planning permission, which can simplify delivery of an access corridor if permission is obtained.
The plot is freehold with title absolute (Title No. LA409905) and all mains services are understood to be available nearby. The land is largely level, currently grass with remnants of former equestrian structures, and sits adjacent to existing residential properties and sports fields — giving potential for an attractive neighbourhood layout and good local amenities.
Key practical considerations: this is a greenfield site so development will require full planning approval and detailed highways design; access acceptance is conditional on satisfactory technical submissions. Broadband in the immediate area is very slow and the site’s frontage to busy routes may introduce traffic noise and require mitigation measures. These factors should be budgeted into feasibility and design work.
