Narrow, irregular site with substantial retaining wall

This compact town-centre parcel on Dockacre Road comes with outline planning permission (reserved matters) for up to two dwellings under PA24/05493, making it a clear starting point for a small residential development or alternative re‑use subject to full planning. The site is freehold and includes a small surfaced parking area to the road with mature planting and a substantial stone/brick retaining wall that defines the plot.
The plot is narrow, irregular and largely contained by neighbouring buildings, so design will need to respond to constrained shape and topography. Main services are understood to be nearby but must be confirmed by a purchaser. With a very large plot description in records but limited usable flat area on site, the realistic yield is usually one or two compact houses or town houses; the site may also suit private parking, a single dwelling with garden, or other low‑intensity uses pending planning.
Practical considerations are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow locally, the area shows above‑average crime levels and the location is in a deprived town‑centre neighbourhood — factors that will affect rental values and the resale market. Conversely, the town‑centre setting, nearby schools and excellent mobile signal support occupation and lettings. Investors or small‑scale developers should budget for clearance, boundary works and confirmation of service connections when assessing viability.
