Summary - Land At Ashton Court, Banks Road, West Kirby CH48 0RJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Rare large plot with approved plans near marina and station, offered post-auction.
Freehold residential development land with valid planning permission for 14 houses
An exceptionally rare freehold development parcel in West Kirby with planning permission for 14 houses, granted on appeal in March 2020 (APP/W4325/W/19/3234924). The consent was deemed commenced by the demolition of Ashton Court, so the permission remains valid. The site fronts Banks Road, wraps either side of Ashton Drive and occupies a large plot with potential marina and Welsh Hills views for some plots.
Approved designs show a mix of house types: 2- and 3‑bedroom houses (two- to three-storey) including roof terraces, rear gardens and off-street driveways. Individual house floor areas range from about 73.4 sq m to 107.1 sq m, giving straightforward family homes or saleable townhouses aimed at the local market. Flooding risk is recorded as no risk.
The location is a strong practical selling point: a short walk to West Kirby marina, beach, shops, cafes and West Kirby station (around five minutes). Good local schooling includes outstanding and top 10% state secondaries, and road links reach the Mersey Tunnel and M53 within a short drive. The wider area is described as affluent and self-sufficient for retirement, with a local population of highly qualified professionals.
Material considerations: the site will be sold at auction with a guide price of £1.3m–£1.5m; buyers should allow for residual construction costs, S106/CIL obligations (if any), and standard build contingencies. The data notes a high local crime figure — this should be checked against current local policing reports. The site is open for inspection, and the decision notice and plans are available for review.
