Approved planning for 200.65 sq m detached house (ref 21/04581/FUL)
Plot approx. 0.30 acres with southerly views and private garden
Services (water, drainage, electricity) available to edge of plot
CIL payments for current design already made
Final service connections and fees are purchaser’s responsibility
Air source heat pump envisaged; no gas connection to site
Owner of adjacent Beech House must consent to exterior/position changes
Wider area classified as deprived; local demographic skews older
A rare freehold building plot of approximately 0.30 acres with approved planning (ref 21/04581/FUL) for a substantial detached new-build of 200.65 sq m (2,159 sq ft) GIA. The plot sits close to central Ludlow and offers southerly aspects, private garden space and provision for a garage. Mains water, drainage and electricity are available to the edge of the site; CIL payments for the approved scheme have been paid.
This opportunity suits a buyer who wants to create a bespoke, low-maintenance home in a quiet, age-leaning suburb close to town amenities. The approved design envisages low-carbon heating (air source heat pump) rather than gas. Several planning conditions have already been discharged, reducing upfront planning work and making the site nearer to build-ready than many plots.
Important practical points: final connections from the services at the plot edge are the purchaser’s responsibility and any future increases to the scheme that raise CIL liability will be payable by the buyer. The plot is owned by the owners of the neighbouring Beech House and written consent will be required for changes to exterior design or position beyond the approved plans. The local area profile skews older and some parts of the wider area are classed as deprived, which may influence future resale or community services.
Overall, this plot is strongest for an owner-occupier or downsizer seeking a purpose-designed, low-energy new home close to Ludlow’s facilities, who is prepared to complete the final connections, accept the planning covenants and work within the neighbour consent requirement.
