Description

Wonderful development opportunity in a village setting. This well-proportioned building plot sits in a convenient village location with amenities close by, offering a blank canvas to create your dream home. There is currently no planning permission in place; the sellers are happy to sell subject to planning. The plot measures approximately 43 metres long by 12 metres wide (subject to measured survey), equating to around 516 square metres of potential build space and a good-sized rear garden. A superb option for a self-builder or developer looking to craft a bespoke property in a sought-after area.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Medium risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 3.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

Not at the pin: mapped about 10 metres away.

These bandings are the summary. Where this location sits on the flood maps, plus planning activity, heritage and ground risks, is in the full report.

Important notice: Information, maps and tags on this page are drawn from the advertising agent's marketing materials or generated automatically. LandSale has not verified them. Relying on these details is at your own risk, always carry out independent checks before committing to a purchase.
