Description
PRIME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.....Situated within one of St Albans' most sought-after residential locations, Ragged Hall Lane presents an exceptional opportunity for developers, land promoters, housebuilders and investors to acquire a prime development site in the highly desirable village of Chiswell Green. Perfectly positioned on the south-western edge of St Albans, the site enjoys a prestigious setting that combines semi-rural surroundings with outstanding connectivity. The development benefits from outline planning consent for the creation of seven substantial detached dwellings, with all matters reserved, offering developers flexibility in the final design and specification of the scheme. The approved concept delivers seven plots suitable for creating an increasingly sought-after product within the Hertfordshire market. Each proposed dwelling extends to approximately 2,856 sq.ft, creating a premium family housing scheme with a combined Gross Internal Area of approximately 19,992 sq.ft. Given the strength of the local housing market and continued demand for high-quality detached homes within the St Albans district, the site offers the potential for strong sales values and attractive development returns. The surrounding area benefits from excellent schooling, extensive leisure facilities, nearby green spaces and easy access to the vibrant city centre of St Albans, renowned for its historic character, independent retailers, restaurants and cafés. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a consented residential development site in a location where demand consistently exceeds suppl
