This large land parcel of approximately 3.1 acres presents a clear opportunity for developers and investors. Detailed planning consent exists for 11 one‑bed apartments (Ref 10/20/0451), and there is historic consent for 14 houses, providing flexible delivery options for a residential scheme.
Around half the site is not developable, leaving an estimated net developable area of about 1.5 acres; parts of the plot are wooded and include a stream corridor. Prospective buyers should budget for site investigation, potential ecological surveys, and infrastructure costs associated with building next to green space.
The site sits in an affluent, comfortable suburban area close to schools, public transport and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for future residents. Price and tenure details are provided; purchasers will need to confirm tenure and complete due diligence prior to exchange.
For investors seeking a brownfield-to-residential opportunity, the existing consent reduces early planning risk while the larger parcel offers scope for design-led or eco-friendly proposals. Be aware of the non-developable land, on-site constraints and the likely need for remediation or drainage works before construction.
