A parcel of land at the head of Water Grove Road with access from Greenbooth Close, offered at auction and potentially suitable for residential development (subject to planning). The plot lies within a predominantly residential neighbourhood close to mid-20th-century housing and local amenities, with good mobile signal and fast broadband — features attractive to small-scale developers or investor buyers.
Historically an outline planning application for residential development was submitted in 2004 and later withdrawn; interested parties must consult Tameside Council about current prospects and requirements before bidding. The vendor informs the land is not designated as open space, but no recent planning consent is guaranteed.
The lot is described as part freehold and part long leasehold (titles GM7143856 & GM714331). The sale is by online auction with immediate purchaser obligations: deposit, buyer’s premium and administration fee apply, plus Anti‑Money Laundering ID and source-of-funds evidence. Buyers should review the legal pack for full title details, potential disbursements and specific lease terms.
This opportunity will suit experienced developers or investors comfortable with bidding at auction and managing pre‑application planning processes. The site sits in a very deprived local area, which may affect values and funding terms; due diligence is essential, including a site visit and checks on access, services and deliverability.
