Description
FREEHOLD BUILDING PLOT WITH FULL PLANNING PERMISSION
A rare opportunity to acquire a building plot in the highly regarded Smithills area of Bolton. Extending to approximately 175 sq m, the plot benefits from full planning permission for an attractive four-bedroom detached family home of approximately 126 sq m (1,356 sq ft).
Situated at the end of a quiet, established residential cul-de-sac, the plot offers a private setting with ample space for the approved house, driveway, parking and garden.
The site would suit either a private self-builder wishing to create an individual family home or a small local developer seeking a consented, single-dwelling project.
Smithills is a popular residential area with well-regarded schools, countryside and local amenities nearby, while Bolton town centre and routes towards Manchester are readily accessible.
Full planning permission was granted by Bolton Council under reference 20370/25. The approved plans, elevations and decision notice are available within the planning application documents.
Freehold. No onward chain. Viewings strictly by appointment.

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.
