Summary - 3 SCHOOL LANE COLNE BB8 7JB
1 bed 1 bath Land
Greenfield site with expansive moorland views and strong developer potential.
Planning in Principle granted for nine detached houses (25/0372/PIP)
A sizeable greenfield parcel on School Lane, Colne, offered freehold with Planning in Principle for nine detached homes (Application No. 25/0372/PIP). The land sits level-to-gently undulating, bounded by mature hedgerow and tree belts, and enjoys open views towards Boulsworth Moor, Wycollar Country Park and Trawden Forest — a strong visual selling point for future homes. The location is rural yet within easy reach of Colne, the M65 and nearby towns, and benefits from outstanding nearby primary schooling.
The PIP confirms the local authority’s in-principle support for nine dwellings and the site may accommodate greater density subject to full planning. Access consent envisages an entrance from School Lane but would require demolition of an existing cottage; the property is currently occupied and will be offered vacant on completion. Mains services are reported nearby on Keighley Road and School Lane, but no investigations have been carried out to confirm adequacy or exact locations — purchasers must satisfy themselves.
Important constraints: the site is greenfield and is shown to have a high flooding risk, which will need careful technical assessment and mitigation in any detailed submission. Additional adjacent land with consent for five detached houses may be available separately, presenting a broader development opportunity. This plot is aimed at developers or investors who can manage demolition, flood-risk considerations and detailed servicing enquiries to unlock the site’s potential.
