Description

An exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a desirable parcel of land with excellent development potential extending to 15.56 acres or thereabouts in total. Part of the land has previously had outline consent for residential development, which has now lapsed. Away from the development opportunities, the land is also suitable for both mowing and grazing purposes, and has been farmed for a number of years.

The land has excellent road access from Milltown Way, and walking access onto Wood Street and the site is within walking distance to many local amenities such as shops, schools, post office, public houses and public transport links.

The land would be of interest to investors, speculators and developers.

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. 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

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

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

Not at the pin: mapped about 100 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.
