This circa 1-acre freehold parcel on Clipstone Drive, Forest Town, offers outline planning permission (Application REF: 2009/0831/NT) for six dwellings, presenting a clear development opportunity in a popular suburban location. The site is flat and cleared, bordered by about 6.5 acres of adjoining woodland owned by the sellers, which adds privacy and scope for enhanced amenity or further negotiation-led uses (any additional use would be subject to separate agreements and planning consent).
Practical advantages reduce early-stage risk: no Section 106, no CIL and no affordable housing requirement were imposed with the outline permission. The spur-road entrance has no ransom strips, and the sellers are offering up to a 12-month delay between exchange and completion to allow a purchaser time to secure detailed planning, which could suit developers who need an initial programming window.
Important cautions: the consent is outline rather than full planning; reserved matters and technical approvals remain to be secured before construction. The outline permission is recorded under the 2009 application reference; buyers should confirm current planning status and consult local planning officers about the “valley area” beyond the granted boundary if they intend to pursue expansion. Utilities and site servicing details are not supplied here and will require investigation as part of due diligence.
This plot will suit experienced developers or investor-builders looking for a semi-rural suburban scheme with potential to deliver individual executive homes. The setting, good local schools nearby and fast broadband add residential appeal, but progressing to build will require a focused planning and technical programme.
