A rare opportunity to acquire a greenfield development site extending to approximately 0.49 acres (0.20 hectares), situated within an established and highly attractive residential area.

The site is broadly triangular in shape and currently forms part of the garden associated with Haslam House, which bounds the site to the north west. The land is predominantly undeveloped and benefits from a particularly attractive setting, with mature trees and established hedgerows providing a significant degree of screening from surrounding residential properties and the adjoining railway line. To the south east, the site is bounded by the railway line, whilst established residential housing lies to the south west.

Access to the site is available from Granville Crescent, via West Croft to the north and The Oval to the south, providing the potential for convenient access to the proposed development.

The site benefits from Reserved Matters planning consent for the development of three executive detached dwellings, granted in August 2023 under planning application reference 23/00102/REM.

The approved scheme provides for the construction of:

- 1 x four-bedroom detached dwelling
- 2 x five-bedroom detached dwellings
- All properties approved as two-storey executive homes.

In May 2024, the vendor subsequently submitted a revised planning application seeking to vary the two five-bedroom house types to provide 2.5-storey dwellings, under planning application reference 24/00633/FUL, which was permitted. The seller has advised that building consent plans and fees were submitted to the local authority, so that work began on the site prior to the planning expiration date.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant Local Planning Authority in respect of the planning history, existing consents and any proposed amendments, and should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the site for their intended use.

The site occupies an attractive position within an established residential area, surrounded by a mix of traditional period properties, mature residential streets and more recently constructed homes. The immediate surroundings are predominantly residential in character, with a number of sought-after properties positioned along tree-lined streets.

The site is located close to the local amenities and services provided within the surrounding area, whilst the wider road network provides convenient connections to nearby towns and employment centres. The combination of an established residential setting, existing housing demand and accessibility makes the location well suited to the development of high-quality family homes.

The proposed dwellings would benefit from being positioned within an established neighbourhood whilst offering a degree of privacy and separation from neighbouring properties through the site's existing mature landscaping. The site is considered particularly suited to small-scale residential developers, housebuilders and investors seeking a consented development opportunity within an established residential location.
