Four well-located parcels of amenity land sit on the edge of Claypole village, offering flexible rural uses from grazing and equestrian to woodland creation. The site totals approximately 27.79 acres in four separately accessed lots, each newly fenced and bordered by mature native hedgerows. Two lots are already established as flower-rich grassland, supporting current Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) payments.
Practical advantages include good roadside access with individual gateways to each parcel and flat, easily managed terrain (Grade 3 agricultural classification). Lots 2 and 3 have Forestry Commission approval for native woodland planting, with a Woodland Carbon Code scheme independently validating carbon units (available by separate negotiation). A recent Biodiversity Net Gain survey identifies substantial hedgerow and habitat unit potential for those seeking to enhance environmental value.
There are important constraints to note: the land is being promoted for agricultural, amenity or biodiversity enhancement only — development requiring planning permission will not be permitted. There are no known services connected to the land, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. The current SFI agreement will end on sale and would need reapplication by a new owner; figures and supporting documentation are available on request.
This offering will suit buyers looking for a rural investment, biodiversity or carbon projects, small-scale farming or private amenity land. Its combination of immediate SFI income, approved woodland planting and significant BNG potential presents multiple income and stewardship opportunities for the right purchaser.
