Planning consent for four detached executive homes on a large, elevated rural plot.
Freehold development plot extending to approximately 1.16 acres
This 1.16-acre freehold development plot in Heapey benefits from full planning consent (Application 23/00038) for four detached executive homes, each designed as substantial two-storey family houses. The site occupies an elevated rural position within a small cluster of similar residences, surrounded by open countryside yet only 3.4 miles from Chorley and within commuting distance of Manchester and Preston. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living and home working.
The consented scheme (House Type 4H2548) provides generous floorplates — a 2,548 sq ft detached house with open-plan living, study, principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, plus a detached garage — making the scheme attractive to buyers seeking high-spec rural homes. The setting, landscaped gardens and a large pond shown in concept plans give strong curb appeal and a private, tranquil ambience suited to executive family purchasers.
Important considerations: the site is in a high flood-risk area and will require appropriate flood mitigation and compliance with planning conditions and building regulations. As a development plot, it will need site preparation, service connections and construction management — buyers should factor these works and associated costs into budgets. The location’s low crime, affluent catchment and nearby good schools add long-term marketability for family buyers or investor/developers.
