Huge freehold plot with planning consent close to town and transport links.
Outline planning for circa 60 over‑55 units (Ref AVA/2022/0586)
A rare freehold development plot with outline planning for an over‑55s scheme of circa 60 units (Ref: AVA/2022/0586). The broadly rectangular, level site sits a short, level walk from Belper town centre, local amenities and the Ada Belfield Centre, offering strong local demand for retirement housing in an award‑winning market town.
The site benefits from a huge plot, low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — important for modern retirement living. Outline consent was granted by Amber Valley Borough Council on 30 July 2024; buyers should review the legal pack and planning conditions to confirm deliverability and any Section 106 obligations.
Material considerations: the land includes derelict/industrial remnants and will require full clearance and redevelopment. It sits within a Conservation Area, which may constrain design and materials. The area records higher crime levels than average; prospective developers should factor in site security and potential mitigation.
Sale terms: the plot is freehold and will be offered at auction (postponed from the listed date). Successful bidders must be prepared for immediate exchange, a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a non‑refundable buyers’ fee. Check the legal pack for full conditions, additional fees, and any special conditions of sale before bidding.
