Significant development site with outline consent and SUDS infrastructure close to schools and transport.
Outline consent for up to 48 dwellings
A substantial development parcel of 1.63 hectares (4.03 acres) with outline consent for up to 48 dwellings sits south of Bank Lane, Barrow-in-Furness. The site benefits from existing SUDS infrastructure, good public transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical advantages for a residential scheme. It lies about 1.75 miles from the town centre and close to primary and secondary schools, neighbourhood retail and an Asda supermarket.
Planning is granted (Application B21/2022/0771, 7 Oct 2022) as part of a larger hybrid consent that includes a completed builder’s merchant and cycle/footway. The consent is outline with all matters reserved and includes landscaping, drainage and open space. The land is freehold and a full technical pack is available on request, making it suitable for a housebuilder or residential investor able to progress reserved matters.
There are material obligations to factor into feasibility: a Section 106 requires 10% affordable dwellings, an open spaces management provision and a highways contribution of £91,743 payable on the sale of 25 or more dwellings. The surrounding area is industrial-leaning and economically challenged, with high local crime and very high area deprivation — factors that will affect sales values, tenure mix and likely marketing strategy.
This is an opportunity for an experienced developer or investor to deliver a medium-sized residential scheme in a town with significant local employment investment. The site’s scale, outline consent and infrastructure position it for relatively swift uplift, but financial modelling must allow for affordable housing, highways contributions, and the need for sensitive design and place-making given the local context.
