This large, level site on the eastern edge of Flookburgh extends to approximately 1.17 hectares (2.90 acres) and benefits from outline planning permission (ref SL/2021/0991) for 32 dwellings granted 13 January 2023. The plot is largely open with mature hedgerow boundaries and straightforward topography, offering efficient buildability and good separation from neighbouring properties.
The location is a genuine strength: village amenities (primary school, doctor, pharmacy, convenience store, pub) are close by, Cark-in-Cartmel station is around 0.5 miles north, and the Lake District National Park lies within easy reach. All mains services are understood to be available from Manorside, and local roads provide solid connectivity to Grange-over-Sands, Cartmel and the A590/M6 corridor.
There are important obligations and practical matters to note. The consent requires 11 affordable units (35% — five affordable rent, six discounted sale). Current access across a green lane is not sufficient for future residential access; the consented access is from Manorside but buyers should verify deliverability. A comprehensive technical pack exists (geo-environmental reports, drainage strategy, biodiversity assessment, tree survey, etc.), and purchasers must satisfy themselves on all matters, including services, VAT and planning conditions.
For developers or housing providers the site offers scope for value-add: potential to explore density changes or different affordable tenure mixes subject to local policy and viability, and a generally level parcel that reduces initial earthworks. The sale is freehold with vacant possession, making the site ready for next-stage due diligence and project planning.
