A rare residential development site on approximately 5.04 acres with outline planning consent for 29 homes — an attractive opportunity for housebuilders or investor-developers. The consent (Planning App 2020/0008) proposes 4 x 2-bed, 15 x 3-bed and 10 x 4-bed houses. The site is freehold, slightly elevated and offers long views over Bacup and surrounding countryside, with vehicle access from Moorview.
Important planning constraints are already identified: the permission is outline only and is subject to a Section 106 Agreement. Further design, reserved matters and infrastructure costs should be anticipated before build. The site adjoins existing housing to the south and open countryside to the north and east; the west boundary runs along Todmorden Old Road.
Practical on-site considerations: broadband speeds are reported slow, mobile signal is excellent, and there is no recorded flood risk. Local amenities and primary schools are within easy reach of the site, and the town centre of Bacup lies around 0.6 miles away. Investors should allow budget and time for reserved matters submissions, S106 obligations and service connections.
